I have a 2013 kink launch, I've had it since August 2012. I just started noticing how bad my bars are bent down. Gonna try to get kink to warranty them out but what's sad is I only weigh 125 pounds, I mean I hop off a lot of ledges but still expected them to hold up better than this. The bends are not from crashing, there just from me landing normally. Any recommendations for bars I should get in the future?

Pretty much any aftermarket bars. Good name brands that have a good reputation and reviews and all.

I love my Tree Branch bars. Lifetime warranty is legit too.

Pretty sure those bars are hi-tensile steel.. which is low quality.
Any aftermarket set of bars that fits your budget and size should do cause they're chromoly

Fiend bars. But if you want a decent pair for cheap, Guerra Toro bars are nice

I'm on some Fly Montana bars right now and they're holding up.
Some other good bars are Shadow Vultus, S&M Hoders, Mutiny Glam-Roids.

Good decision. How do they feel? And did you get the Tree bar ends made specifically for Tree bars?

Ya looked up the bars, they were 100% hi ten steel, that was your problem. Good choice on the branch bars. Never heard anything bad about tree
