The new Turbine was fully redesigned, narrowing the stem clamp area to allow both a quicker taper and an earlier rise to hit our meticulously researched Goldilocks (GL) tune for compliance and comfort. GL Tune hits the sweet spot preferred by most riders; stiffer was too harsh, softer was too flexible.

We used extremely precise aluminum engineering to optimize the flex profile of every Turbine bar variant. That meant changing the position, degree and rate of wall thickness variation, what we call internal butting. The result is a compliant bar with very high strength.
