Description
ProTaper SE Carmichael Bend Handlebar in Silver – 7/8 Inch Powersports Bar
The Carmichael bend splits the difference between low and tall, giving you a mid-rise profile that a generation of national-level racers gravitated toward because it works on almost any track layout. This is a 7/8 inch ProTaper SE handlebar built for riders chasing a mid-height, race-proven feel, and this particular unit is finished in a clean silver anodized coat that reads as close to raw billet as an anodized bar gets, and it pairs with almost any color scheme without clashing.
Strip away the color and what you are buying is a bar built around a few key details:
- 7/8 inch diameter matches stock clamps and most aftermarket clamp kits, so you are not shopping for adapters or oversize hardware.
- Tube is high-strength aerospace aluminum alloy rated at 70,000 psi, so it takes hard impacts and G-outs without folding or denting like a lower-grade bar.
- Crossbar is bonded to the tube with an aerospace-grade polymer adhesive instead of a weld, so there is no heat-affected zone weakening the metal at the joint.
- Bend geometry is measured and repeatable, so a replacement bar in the same part number sits exactly where your old one did.
It is a safe, versatile choice if you are not sure which bend to run and want something that will not fight you in either sit-down corners or full-attack standing sections. Run it as a direct replacement for a bent or cracked stock bar, or as an upgrade if you are still on the OEM tube and want something stiffer under load.
This is genuine ProTaper, stocked the same way we stock parts for our own race and trail bikes. Part number 025295, ProTaper SE Carmichael bend in silver. Questions about fitment? Reach out to the IPD Racing team.
