Description
Dual-sport and ADV bikes get pushed through terrain their stock bars were never really built for, so ProTaper cut an Adventure-specific bend for the EVO platform with a taller stance suited to standing on rough trail and gravel for hours at a time.
What makes it worth the swap:
- Unbraced design removes the crossbar so the whole bar flexes evenly and soaks up hits instead of bouncing energy back at your hands
- 7000 series aluminum alloy with a computer-profiled 4 mm wall shaves weight while independent lab fatigue testing shows it outlasting braced competitor bars
- Rated up to 25 percent lighter and 45 percent stronger than comparable braced handlebars from other brands
- Consistent wall thickness from bend to bend keeps flex predictable instead of stiff in some spots and floppy in others
- Anodized or powder-coated finish (per colorway) resists scuffing from boots, levers, and crash damage
Between the added rise and the unbraced flex of the EVO body, this bar is aimed at riders who spend as much time standing on the pegs as they do sitting down.
IPD Racing keeps most of the EVO bend and color lineup in stock, so if this particular bend is not the one your bike came with, there is usually a close match sitting right next to it in the catalog.
Fitment: Handlebar – EVO Adventure. Part number 020340, sold by IPD Racing.
