Torsion Bar – Mini Sprint – 26" Long – Tubular – 0.650" Dia Rate
Performance & Fitment
Application: Mini Sprint Race Cars
Length: 26”
Diameter: 0.650”
Construction: Tubular (Hollow) design. This allows for a specific spring rate while significantly reducing the overall weight of the bar compared to a solid counterpart.
Tuning Profile: A 0.650" tubular bar typically offers a unique rate curve that is "snappier" than a solid bar. It is ideal for fine-tuning the balance of the car on tracks where weight transfer needs to be precise and immediate.
Material: High-strength alloy steel, engineered to withstand the extreme torsional stress of open-wheel racing.
Precision Manufacturing: Precision-honed and ground to ensure a perfectly consistent wall thickness and outer diameter. This ensures that the spring rate remains identical from one bar to the next, allowing for repeatable setup changes.
Heat Treatment: Advanced heat-treating process optimizes the steel's "memory," ensuring the bar returns to its original position without sagging or "taking a set" after heavy use.
Weight Optimization: By removing the inactive center material of the bar, the tubular design reduces rotating and unsprung mass, allowing the shock and tire to react faster to track imperfections.
❌ Rate Comparison: A 0.650" tubular bar does not have the same spring rate as a 0.650" solid bar. Because the center material is removed, the tubular bar will generally be softer. Always consult a torsion bar rate chart to ensure you are moving in the right direction for your setup.
❌ Tube Maintenance: The internal bore of a tubular bar must be kept clean and free of moisture. Internal corrosion can lead to "stress risers" that cause the bar to snap unexpectedly under load.
❌ Chassis Clearance: This bar is exactly 26" long. Verify your chassis requirements, as Micro Sprints often use 23" bars and full-size Sprints use 30"+ bars.
- ❌ Binding Hazards: Ensure the chassis torsion tubes are straight and free of debris. A tubular bar is highly sensitive to external "nicks" or binding; any contact with the internal wall of the torsion tube will cause erratic handling and potential failure.
