The Uberbike Components Bash Ring on the trail

  • In the flesh the finish on the Uberbike Components Bash is first class. The polished gold anno has a nice luster to it, and it was durable throughout the test period.
  • The sizing was just right. Using this 32 bash on a 32 tooth ring, there was enough coverage to protect the ring, without it looking like a dinner plate.
  • The laser etched logo showed no signs of wear.
  • The contact edge of the bash is polished, and as such slips over obstacles really well. Instead of smacking into them it felt more like a glide. Fallen trees were dispatched with ease.
  • Despite some hefty impacts the Uberbike Components Bash Ring did not bend or dent. Although its light its made from fairly chunky alloy, and the impact stress is limited by its ability to glide.
  • It's relatively good value at £27.99
  • It’s only available in red and gold.

Test Info

Final Thoughts

Its great when a bit of a kit arrives, and its better than you think from the pictures. The Uberbike Components Bash Ring is just that. Its much nicer looking in the flesh, and those good looks are kept in place by excellent strength and durability. The polished edge allows it to glide over obstacles. It can handle bit hits too, and it’s still running straight to this day.

The limited range of colours limit its appeal to those who like to coordinate their bling. But if a red or gold will work for you then it’s an excellent bash for a good price.
