Description
Flat track and dirt track riding puts different demands on a handlebar than motocross does, with hands staying in a narrower, more consistent position through sustained slides rather than constantly moving for jumps. ProTaper shaped this EVO Dirt Track bend around that riding style while keeping the unbraced flex advantage of the EVO platform.
What makes it worth the swap:
- Unbraced design removes the crossbar so the whole bar flexes evenly and soaks up hits instead of bouncing energy back at your hands
- 7000 series aluminum alloy with a computer-profiled 4 mm wall shaves weight while independent lab fatigue testing shows it outlasting braced competitor bars
- Rated up to 25 percent lighter and 45 percent stronger than comparable braced handlebars from other brands
- Consistent wall thickness from bend to bend keeps flex predictable instead of stiff in some spots and floppy in others
- Anodized or powder-coated finish (per colorway) resists scuffing from boots, levers, and crash damage
It is a purpose-built bend for oval and flat track competitors who want a lighter, more durable bar without switching to an unfamiliar hand position.
Riders coming off a cracked or bent stock bar are the ones who notice the EVO difference fastest, since the unbraced design spreads impact energy instead of letting it concentrate at a crossbar weld.
