Description
ProTaper’s 2.0 square bar changed how a lot of riders think about handlebar stiffness, and the factory pad for it is built around that bar’s exact profile rather than a generic round shape. This particular version comes in a bold blue that pairs cleanly with white or silver trim, and like every ProTaper bar pad it is built for daily abuse rather than shelf appeal. The foam is doing real work every time you ride, and the cover is meant to take scuffs, sun, and mud without falling apart after one season. Check the Velcro tab periodically for grit buildup, since a clean strap is what keeps the fit snug instead of loose on the flat bar faces.
- High-density, closed-cell foam absorbs impact and keeps water and grit out of the pad over a full season
- Fuel vent hose cutout leaves steering stem access open so service work does not mean removing the pad
- Secure Velcro fastening keeps the pad snug on most 2.0 square bars without slipping during rough sections
- Clean cover design with no loose seams, so it holds its shape better than older-style square pads
- race blue colorway for riders dialing in a matched or custom cockpit look
- Genuine ProTaper part built specifically for the 2.0 square bar profile
The fuel vent hose cutout keeps steering stem access open so you are not fighting the pad every time you need to get in there, and the Velcro strap means installation is tool-free and adjustable to your bar.
