The Odyssey Perris 8.78" bar is built for riders who know exactly what they want from their setup. Perris Benegas’ signature bar brings a compact, aggressive street feel: lower rise, narrower width, faster reactions. If you like a direct front-end and a bike that moves exactly when you tell it to, this bar will feel right almost immediately.
The 8.78” rise and 27” width are aimed at riders who don’t want an oversized cockpit. The bike becomes easier to throw around, tricks react faster, and the overall feel stays tight and responsive on street spots. Despite the narrower width, there’s still enough room for a brake lever, which is an important detail for many riders.
Odyssey didn’t cut corners on materials. The bar is made from post-weld heat-treated 4130 chromoly, one of the most trusted materials in BMX. The tubing uses a multi-butted design, meaning it’s thicker where strength is needed and lighter where weight can be saved. The 20 mm butted crossbar adds extra rigidity, helping the bar handle heavy street riding without feeling soft.
With a 10° backsweep and 4° upsweep, the hand position feels natural and comfortable during longer sessions. This bar wasn’t made to sit in a display case. It’s built to grab, hit the spot, and keep riding until the day is done.
