Description
Custom cockpit builds on square-bar bikes usually start with the pad, since it is the first thing anyone notices when they look at the bars, and this one gives you a low-key black-on-black look for riders who want zero flash to work with. This particular version comes in a low-key black-on-black look for riders who want zero flash, 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
- stealth colorway for riders dialing in a matched or custom cockpit look
- Genuine ProTaper part built specifically for the 2.0 square bar profile
Match this to your 2.0 square handlebar spec, and once it is on, the fuel vent hose cutout and snug Velcro fit mean you will not be fighting the pad on wrench day.
