Description
Stock 7/8-inch handlebars flex more than most riders realize, and that flex shows up as vague feedback right when you need to feel the front end.
The XR50 bend puts this bar in mini bike / pit bike territory, and because the tube itself does not flex much, the steering input you put in at the grips is the input the front wheel gets. Riders coming off worn stock bars usually notice the difference in the first few corners, not after a full break-in period.
Features and benefits:
- 7/8-inch tube diameter for the classic direct steering feel riders have trusted for decades
- Constructed from high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum alloy rated at 70,000 psi
- Crossbar clamps CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum and bonded with aerospace-quality polymer
- Cut to the XR50 bend profile, a narrower, lower-rise bend sized for XR50/CRF50-class mini bikes
- Predictable, low-flex feedback that suits riders who prefer a firmer bar over an oversized one
- Anodized brushed silver finish that resists fading and chipping from trail debris
- Designed to bolt straight onto standard 7/8-inch controls, clamps, and levers
This listing covers the XR50 bend in Silver, built to the same 7/8-inch, 70,000 psi aerospace aluminum spec as every other bar in the ProTaper SE line, and it drops onto standard 7/8-inch clamps and controls without any modification.
