Description
ProTaper SE KTM 50 Handlebar, Jet Black – 7/8 Inch MX and Off-Road Bar
Scaled down for the KTM 50 chassis, this bend keeps a young racer’s hands in the correct position relative to the seat and pegs instead of forcing a compromise borrowed from a full-size bar. This is a 7/8 inch ProTaper SE handlebar built for KTM 50 racers and their mechanics, and this particular unit is finished in a deep jet black anodized coat that disappears against black plastics and grips for riders who want the bar to blend in rather than stand out.
What makes this bar worth the upgrade is the construction underneath the finish:
- Crossbar is bonded to the tube with an aerospace-grade polymer adhesive instead of a weld, so there is no heat-affected zone weakening the metal at the joint.
- Tube is high-strength aerospace aluminum alloy rated at 70,000 psi, so it takes hard impacts and G-outs without folding or denting like a lower-grade bar.
- 7/8 inch diameter matches stock clamps and most aftermarket clamp kits, so you are not shopping for adapters or oversize hardware.
- Anodized finish resists fading and corrosion better than raw or painted aluminum, so it still looks right after a season of dirt and pressure washing.
Parents and mechanics running junior program bikes like this bend because it keeps the ergonomics honest at that smaller scale instead of just cutting down a full-size bar. Run it as a direct replacement for a bent or cracked stock bar, or as an upgrade if you are still on the OEM tube and want something stiffer under load.
