Description
ProTaper SE SX Race Handlebar, Blue – 7/8 Inch MX and Off-Road Bar
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 bright blue anodized coat that plays well with blue-based liveries and stands out against black or white plastics.
Strip away the color and what you are buying is a bar built around a few key details:
- Works with standard 7/8 inch grips, throttle tubes and clamp-on accessories without needing bar-specific hardware.
- Crossbar clamps are CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum, not stamped, which keeps tolerances tight where the pad and clamp meet the tube.
- 7/8 inch diameter matches stock clamps and most aftermarket clamp kits, so you are not shopping for adapters or oversize hardware.
- 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. 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.
