ProTaper – ProTaper Contour Handlebars - Pastrana Bend, including Contour Pastrana FMX handlebars in Platinum Gray, Silver, Jet Black and Gold, freestyle changed what a handlebar has to survive, and the Pastrana FMX bend was drawn for exactly that world. Big-air riders throw their whole body around the cockpit, load the bars sideways during tricks and land with far more force than a typical moto lap produces, so this bend gives a wide, purposeful shape with a rise that supports a rider hanging off the back of the machine. On the ProTaper Contour platform the bar carries a heavy-walled tapered 1-1/8 in. clamp section that resists bending and twisting under those unusual loads, while the tapered ends still take the harshness out of hard flat landings. Riders who like a broad, tall cockpit for standing-up terrain, sand or dune duty often find the Pastrana bend gives them the most control and the least arm strain of anything they have tried. The anodized Platinum Gray, Silver, Jet Black and Gold finishes hold up to grit and repeated washing, and the bar drops into standard mounts with the correct cones so the swap stays simple.
