Oversize diameter handlebars without crossbars were invented and patented by ProTaper. This unique design allows the bar to flex and absorb impacts better than standard 7/8" bars. The intentional bar flex leads to increased rider comfort and less fatigue, while the oversize diameter at the bar clamp area maintains bar integrity. The Contour handlebar utilizes a computer profiled 5mm wall design, making it 20% lighter and 40% stronger than most bars.

Features:

  • Made from 5mm, proprietary, 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior strength
  • Oversize 1-1/8" at bar clamp, tapers to 7/8" at bar ends
  • Most affordable balance between fatigue life, impact strength and impact absorbing flex
  • High tech, stress relieved, shot peen, anodized finish for unmatched durability Independent lab tests show that the EVO handlebars outlast every other handlebar on the market in fatigue life
  • Epoxy inner coating resists corrosion Left side knurling provides maximum grip traction
  • Chemically applied cut lines and alignment grid are scratch and peel resistant
  • End plugs help keep the elements out of the handlebar tubing and aid in longer grip life
  • Comes with bar pad
