I rolled my bike this weekend and bent up the handlebars a bit. I need to replace them with some stronger ones. Any recommendations guys??

 

I love my Renthals. Rocky MT ATV has them for around $65

 

A buddy was telling me about "Air raid" or something like that he said they were just like the Renthals but about $30 cheaper. Any idea what he was talking about??

 

Never heard of them. You can check and see if Rocky MT, Dennis Kirk, or Bob's Cycle carry them though. I would stick with an aluminum handle bar though. They are lighter, look better, and help to reduce fatigue. Renthal, Pro-Taper, Moose, Trailtech, MSR, Tusk, Tag, FMF all make good bars. Some have more vibration reducing qualities than others. You can also get them thicker. It all depends on what you want, what you want to pay, and what looks better to you. Me, I like the Renthals

 

Are the bars designed to bend to save the neck?? That was something else I was concerned about. I ride pretty aggressive and love riding vertical terrain like steep hills and rocks so I'm sure I'll turn her over a few more times.

 

I have Fly Racing aluminum bars on my Sport. Look great and no more "chopper bars". Mine are the low profile atv bars. Can pick em up for about $40. If you have the cash, upgrade your steering stem to a cro-moly one. I think I saw them on HPD's or Hot Seats website.

 

Yes, the bars are more likely to bend before they bend the steering stem

 

Thanks guys. I may just have to cough up the cash for the Renthals. Everyone I have talked to has recommended them. It's just hard to pay $65 or $70 for a set of handlebars. Thanks for the input stick I'll have to check out Fly Racing first.

 

get the aluminum mounts also. i would highly reccomend them.

 

Aluminum mounts?? Is that the bracket that holds the bar?? Not to sound ignorant. Thanks.
