<\/a><\/p>\nThe Fatboy bars, built from aluminium alloy, claim to be light enough for XC while sturdy for the impacts of all mountain and downhill riding.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThese bars start their life at 785 mm, with clear markings for shortening operations, while the diameter measures in at 31.8mm. The bar is modestly shaped with a 15 degree rise, 8 degree backsweep and a 5.5 degree upsweep. In terms of weight, FUNN\u2019s claim of 340 grams at 785mm is decent for a wide bar. Our own weigh in confirmed this figure.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBeing part of FUNN\u2019s BOB (Bored Of Black) series, these bars get a special aesthetic touch. In this case, that bit of flair is a colour shifting glitter effect. In the shade this bar is pretty understated but as soon as you bring it into the sunlight it shows its true colours. From when I first unpacked the Fatboy, I’ve been impressed with its unique look. There are two colour combinations, a green and blue, and red and orange.<\/p>\n
The Fatboy Chameleon sells for around R680. If the bars aren\u2019t quite enough bling for you, FUNN also make matching Chameleon stems and seatposts to go with your bars.<\/p>\n
FUNN Tactic Pedals<\/h2>\n
The Tactic is punted as a compact light race and everyday cross country pedal. To secure your feet to the pedals, FUNN has gone with the popular SPD-style clipless system.<\/p>\n The Tactic consists of a CNC forged aluminium body, a CroMo axle and a DU bushing with sealed bearing. The pedal body comes in 5 anodized colours (Red \/ Orange \/ Blue \/ Silver \/ Black), great for customizing your bike. The axle and clipless system are black but the bare metal contact points on the pedal body are a nice touch.<\/p>\n Being aimed at the XC market, weight is important. FUNN claims that a pair of Tactic pedals are 310 grams. The pair in our possession came in at 315 grams.<\/p>\n The Tactic retails at R980, which makes them similarly priced to the Look S-Track and a couple hundred less than Shimano XT, each weighing marginally more than the FUNN Tactic.<\/p>\n Designed for enduro, all mountain, trail and downhill riding (include whatever new category the marketers have come up with this week), the Mamba combines double sided SPD-style clipless with wide pinned platforms. The pedals allow for up to four traction pins on each corner. There is also a one sided clipless model, which can be ridden with flat shoes on the other side.<\/p>\n The pedal body is CNCed aluminium which houses a DU bushing, needle bearing, and a sealed cartridge bearing to spin around the CroMo axle. The rotational parts can be regreased via FUNN\u2019s Grease Renew System (GRS). This involves removing two screws, and injecting new grease into the pedal which forces out the old dirty stuff.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\nFUNN Mamba Pedals<\/h2>\n
