Description
A crossbar pad that fits loose or shifts around during a ride is worse than no pad at all, and ProTaper solved that on the 2.0 square bar with a Velcro-secured design built for the flat profile. This particular version comes in a two-tone red and black split that ties into most aftermarket graphics, 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
- red/black colorway for riders dialing in a matched or custom cockpit look
- Genuine ProTaper part built specifically for the 2.0 square bar profile
Confirm you are running a 2.0 square bar before buying, since the fit is specific to that profile. From there, expect a quick Velcro installation and unobstructed access to the steering stem via the vent hose cutout.
