Most handle bar companies make their bars in at least 3 bends.. usually low, medium and high. I'd like to get some new bars for my YFZ (bent the stocks a bit) But I have no idea about which bend to get or know of a way I could test them. I don't mind the stock size so I was wondering which size the stocks compare to most closely? Would you call the stock bars that Yamaha uses on their sport quads (the raptor bar) a low, medium or high?

Anyone have an opinion on why they think one size is better than another? I'm pretty average size for comparisons... 5'11" 170 lbs.

 

I just put some Tag X5s (double high) on mine and removed the crossbar. There are aftermarket clamps available now that will allow the use of a 1-1/8" "fat" bar, I just don't like any more adaptors than required. The "barless" seem to be doing well. I guess I'll know it when they fail won't I. They are 5mm aluminum by the way. That's the same thickness as any of the "fatbars".

My YFZ now has feel very similar to my dirtbike - I like that, not to mention a much cleaner appearance.

I put Trail Tech Fat Bars on mine. High bend. And the bend in height is very similiar to what came stock on my Raptor. I think the medium and low bend bars are more for drag racers.

 

Well, if the handle bars on a quad are anything like the bars on a mountain bike, the sweep and height of the bars is very important. Flat bars on mountain bikes are mainly for xc riding, medium bars are a cross between xc/downhilling, and high bars are mainly for straight downhilling...then again i've never seen a flat bar for quad, so the sweep and bend is probably more important here than the height...For height I'd say go with whatever feels more comfortable. A taller person will probably prefer taller bars so they won't be leaning forward or crouching down as much. The sweep will affect your steering. I guess I'll say what I told the other guy. Try whichever one you want, the only way you really learn how something works is by trying it out yourself. See ya!

 

Anyone try those modular bars from fasst? Saw them in dirtwheels oct issue.

 

these TAG T2 CR-hi bend bars work really well for MX, i love the feel.. really comfortable for me [5'10"]
