The Blacklabel DH is the new top-of-the-line gravity bar from Deity Components, and is designed to take on World Cups and slopestyle comps.
At 787mm (31in) wide it’s rangy enough for all but the burliest wide-barists, although we would have liked to see some cut marks for easy trimming. It’s only offered in a 15mm rise too.
The 9-degree backsweep and 5-degree upsweep makes it comfy and the 7075 T6 alloy construction translates to a stiff feeling bar. We found the width, height and shape bang on, but the lack of options might deter the fussy.
