ProTaper – ProTaper Handlebars, including Contour and EVO 1-1/8 in. bars, SE 7/8 in. bars, Fuzion and ACF bars, mini and youth bars, and handlebar mounts and clamps, this is the deepest part of the ProTaper catalog and the reason the name became shorthand for a serious cockpit. Bend choice is where control really starts, so the range covers Carmichael, Reed, Windham, Pastrana and High bends alongside CR, YZ, KX, RM and Woods profiles in colors from Jet Black and Platinum Gray to Silver, Gold, Red, Orange and Blue. Taller riders want more rise to keep the back straight and elbows up in ruts, while shorter racers often get faster on a mid or low bar. The tapered 1-1/8 in. designs give a stiff clamping area with controlled flex out at the grips, which takes the sting out of braking bumps and long motos without turning the bar into a wet noodle. Quad riders get ATV and Raptor bends, and mini pilots get youth bars sized for smaller arms. Finish the job with bar mount cones, upper clamp assemblies and rubber or solid mount kits for Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki machines so the new bar sits at the right height and angle instead of fighting the stock clamps.
