Technology

Extreme Gradual Taper
Dual Extreme Gradual Taper technology is a proprietary tube drawing process, afforded by Spank‘s secret state of the art tooling. Dual XGT technology tapers bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones...and...back to thicker reinforced barend zones, or “Impact Ends”. Tapers that occur over too short a distance, or with defined start/end points, create isolated stress zones where breaks can occur. Spank has utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory, and rigorous real world testing to optimize the spread of material to where it is needed to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone, while offering better protection against crashes than ever before!
