From the UK, By Way of Downhill Racing

Burgtec comes out of the UK and was born from an obsession with downhill racing. The components are race-tested by the Santa Cruz Syndicate DH team, which is a harder test than most brands put their gear through.

Burgtec parts reflect where that testing points. Stems, bars, pedals, grips and saddles, which are the five things a crash finds first, plus the small hardware that holds them on.

Enduro Mk3, Ride Wide and the Penthouse Pedals

The Enduro Mk3 stem is the part most riders arrive for. It comes in 31.8mm and 35mm clamps at 35mm, 42.5mm and 50mm lengths, zero degree, in black and Rhodium Silver.

Bars split two ways. Ride Wide alloy runs 800mm wide in 15mm, 22.5mm and 30mm rise, and the Ride High Josh Bryceland signature bar goes up to 38mm. Pedals run from the MK4 composite to the Penthouse MK5 on a steel axle, including the B-Rage edition.

The Burgtec Parts Range, Corner by Corner

Four groups carry the range:

  • Stems. Enduro Mk3 in both clamp diameters, from 35mm to 50mm long.
  • Handlebars. Ride Wide alloy at 800mm and the Ride High signature bar.
  • Flat pedals. MK4 composite and Penthouse MK5 alloy, across several finishes.
  • Saddles. The Cloud Boost, which is the one riders come back for.

Bartender Pro grips, chainrings, axles, mudguards, headset spacer kits and top cap bolts sit alongside them.

Clamp, Rise and Length, in That Order

Clamp diameter is first, and it is binary. Running a 35mm bar means running a 35mm stem to hold it, and both parts come in 31.8mm for bikes already built around the older size. Length and rise are the two worth thinking about rather than copying off a mate's bike. 

A 35mm stem puts you further back than a 50mm on the same frame, which helps on steep ground and hurts on a long climb. Rise does something similar at the grips, and 15mm to 30mm is a bigger change than it reads on paper.
