Description
A handlebar that is too fat for a young rider’s hands causes grip fatigue fast, no matter how well the bike is set up otherwise. ProTaper’s Micro Bar fixes that with an advanced, abrupt taper that narrows the diameter specifically at the grip zones, while leaving the rest of the tube at a standard 7/8 inch size so controls and clamps still fit normally. The Schoolboy Low bend keeps that narrower grip area but pairs it with a lower, more compact riding stance for riders who prefer to stay tucked in rather than sit tall.
Features and Benefits
- Abrupt taper reduces grip diameter for small hands while keeping the rest of the bar at standard 7/8 inch size
- Schoolboy Low bend delivers a compact, forward-leaning riding position
- Fuller grip contact improves hold and control through the whole moto
- Cuts down on hand fatigue that comes from gripping an oversized adult bar
- Finish is shot-peened, stress-relieved, and anodized for real long-term durability
Since the diameter change is localized to the grip area, this bar bolts onto standard mini bike clamps and works with typical youth controls, no special parts required. IPD Racing recommends checking hand and grip fit before assuming a rider needs a full bar swap, and Micro Bars like this one are often the simplest way to make a stock-size bike feel right for a smaller rider.
