I am going to buy new bars for my Raptor. I was wondering what everyone's opinions are on Brand and Bend. Also what price and the best place to get them from. I am 6'3" aggressive rider.

 

...Not sure how they would work on a Raptor, but I have found over the years that Renthal's "ATV RACE" bend seems to work about the best for everything I have owned. I currently race a 250R on the GNC national circuit, and own a 300EX, a 250X, and 4 "R"'s and the Renthals work well on all of them. They are available anywhere Renthal stuff is and they run about $60. A lot of racers also run Honda CR500 hi-bend bars and like them also. Just depends on what type of riding you do but I think you would like the Renthals because of your size. I am only 5'8" but they let you stretch out over jumps and really move around alot on the quad. Good luck with the Raptor. I may have to have one also come spring (EEEEEK!!!!!! ME OWN SOMETHING BESIDES A HONDA?!?!?!?!?!) LOL.

 

Tag's new t2 bar is much stronger than renthal. The only reason that the pros use renthal(most tag) are because the get replaced every moto. Tag is more expensive, but will not bend as esily. My friend had a cr 80 and he was goofing off in his yard and it slid out from under him. His renthals bent and he had to replace them.

 

get any type of fat bar renthal tag or protaper they are strong and will last a long time and wont bend ina roll over but they cost get a good regular bar like renthal or hebo or oneal or any otheres like those

 

Do you know anyone that has tried Demarini bars? I have been thinking about trying their ATV bend. Looks like a pretty nice bend from the stats.

 

Go with the pro taper cr high bend.They are a little lower and put your weight more towards the front of the bike(better corner bite)

 

renthals are bad *** in my eyes i have rolled my 300ex 2 times one time off a double (a bad wreck)and it bend the steering stem busted the fenders and a few other minor things but the bars stood strong. then a week later i rolled it again and they stood up, no bend. so i like the renthals a lot i use cr high on my ex looks good and feels good riding.

go to a good atv/mx shop and ask to put a couple sets on your quad, and try and find what you like best. while some bars are stronger than others all of them can still be bent as I personally have bent stock, renthal, and pro tapers. I am currently running renthal atv race bend on my 395X
