Description
ProTaper SE SX Race Handlebar – Black: 7/8 Inch Bar for Powersports
The SX Race bend is shaped for riders who spend most of their time standing and attacking rhythm sections, with a profile that favors an aggressive forward stance over the front wheel. This is a 7/8 inch ProTaper SE handlebar built for supercross and stadium-style racers, and this particular unit is finished in a matte black anodized coat that hides scuffs and scratches better than lighter finishes while still looking sharp out of the box.
Strip away the color and what you are buying is a bar built around a few key details:
- 7/8 inch diameter matches stock clamps and most aftermarket clamp kits, so you are not shopping for adapters or oversize hardware.
- Bend geometry is measured and repeatable, so a replacement bar in the same part number sits exactly where your old one did.
- Crossbar clamps are CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum, not stamped, which keeps tolerances tight where the pad and clamp meet the tube.
- 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.
If your track is mostly jump faces, whoops and hard braking bumps rather than flowing singletrack, this is the bend that rewards an aggressive stance. It bolts in using your existing 7/8 inch clamp setup, so there is no need to source special hardware to get it mounted.
