Weight 33g / Titanium / Aluminium version £10 in black, dark red, pure white and dark olive Contact: Hotwheels 01202 732288

Designed to protect the ends of BMX bars these Drops are real titanium, hence the price. They’re heavier than the company’s aluminium Drops, which weigh 21g, and are only available in this finish. The good news is titanium is stronger and resists abrasion a lot better than alloy. A 2.5mm grub screw holds the drops against the bar and it’s machined flat, so is unlikely to damage thin-walled handlebars, not that it really matters at the ends of the bar.

MBR RATING: 7/10
