Description
The MX Race bend is ProTaper’s general-purpose motocross geometry built on the unbraced EVO body, aimed at riders who want a dependable, middle-of-the-road sweep rather than a bend tuned around one specific pro rider’s preference.
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
It is a strong first EVO bar for riders upgrading off a stock braced handlebar who are not sure yet which specialty bend they prefer.
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 MX Race Black. Part number 022079, sold by IPD Racing.
