Compression and Rebound Elastomer Kits

Just like your suspension, elastomers do need to be freshened up. We recommend changing your elastomers yearly to be sure your Flexx Handlebars are performing as intended.

Elastomer kits come with 2 compression and 2 rebound elastomers.

Smaller riders, or those riding mellow trails (or gravel grinding) usually prefer the blue or yellow compression elastomer. The red elastomers are harder and provide a more traditional feel. The black elastomers are extra hard, mostly reserved for larger, more aggressive down hill riders. It's mostly personal preference, and with a little testing you can quickly tailor the bar to your needs. We're happy to discuss your elastomer combination with you to be sure you're getting the most out of the Flexx Handlebar, please shoot us a call or email to do so.

Soft - Blue

Medium - Yellow

Hard - Red

Extra Hard - Black

Recommended Elastomer Combinations:

BLUE: XC/Gravel, youth, lightweight riders, 140lbs or less

YELLOW: XC/Trail/mild Enduro, 140-165lbs

RED: Enduro/DH, 150lbs-220lbs, most popular set up

BLACK: DH 190lbs +

- A properly tuned Flexx Handlebar should feel natural while riding, absorbing small bumps, chatter and other trail terrain that tends to make your hands and upper body more fatigued. Any diving sensation, bottoming out or "that doesn't feel right" is an indication your set up is too soft.

*The pin end caps do not need to be removed to change elastomers, use blue loctite on the nut and bolt when re-assembling

Compression and Rebound Elastomer kits are sold in pairs.

Confusion

I love the bar and used it over 2 years. I thought it was a good idea to get a refresh kit. It is has been a nightmare dealing with back and forth. It is not the fault of the customer service as they went beyond to make it right. There has been an update to the elastomers supplier. I tried a few of them supplied yellow. I followed the instructions and had to wedge the yellow ones as they are bigger. It seems like the right side worked, and the left side is not flush to the bar and the yellow washer has indented trying to force that elastomer in. The titanium screw that came with the refresh kit now is sightly stripping and avoiding further damage at this point. It should not be this difficult. I appreciate the assistance so far, and I don't how to proceed at this point. Should I mail in the bar for you to inspect. I didn't notice that much difference on the yellow, so perhaps might switch back to the red to see if that works better.

Great for tuning

I was using extra soft for maximum bump absorption but my intensity has increased so I’ve swapped to medium and am very happy

failed elastomers

I'm disappointed that the original elastomers failed and had to be replaced. While I do enjoy rugged, rocky trails, I'm 80 years old and only weigh 130 lbs so it's hard to believe that I could destroy them.

Hello Dale,

Thank you for your review. Even at your age and weight, the softer elastomers will wear out faster. Blue being the sofest will need to be replaced more often than the red for example. It looks like your Flexx bars are about a year old, which, with normal riding is about how long you should expect the blue elastomers to last. Yearly maintenace on a moving pivot point and elastomers is to be expected. Thank you for your business and please reach out to us directly with any further questions.
