Description
Small hands and youth-length arms need a different grip diameter than the standard 7/8 inch tube most handlebars use, and that is exactly what ProTaper’s Micro Bar solves. It uses an advanced, abrupt taper to shrink the diameter right where a young rider’s hands wrap the grips, while keeping the rest of the bar at the standard 7/8 inch size for compatible controls and clamps. On the Schoolboy High bend, that reduced grip area pairs with a taller, more forward-leaning stance that suits riders learning to attack corners rather than just survive them.
Features and Benefits
- Abrupt taper design shrinks grip diameter for smaller hands without changing the standard 7/8 inch clamp size
- Schoolboy High bend gives a taller, forward stance that supports more aggressive cornering
- Full grip contact lets young riders hold on more securely and comfortably over a moto
- Reduces hand fatigue significantly compared to a full-diameter adult bar
- Shot-peened, stress-relieved, and anodized finish adds real durability, not just looks
Because the grip area is narrower while the rest of the bar stays standard size, this bar works with typical mini bike controls and does not require special levers or grips sized for adult bars. IPD Racing stocks the full Micro Bar lineup because getting bar diameter right is one of the most overlooked fixes for a young rider who says the bike feels too big for their hands, and our team can help you pick the right bend for your rider.
