I like the $75 dollar Renthals. I have never owned Tag bars, but have been using Renthals since my first quad in '97.

I have owned both, and I liked the finish of the Renthal bars better, however, the Tag bars were not as quick to bend. I am considering buying another set of Renthal's, but will probably go with Tag again. I had two bad crashes while racing and the Tag bars did not bend as easily. However, this can be a bad thing, because if you have a stock steering stem and get in an accident, the steering column may bend instead of the bars, and bars are cheaper than columns.

I have the tag bars on my raptor and I recently rolled it doing about 30mph, and my steering stem bent but the bars were fine. It was bent so bad that I couldnt even turn the quad to the left at all and could barely turn it right.

i think i'll go with the Renthals because i would rather have my bars bend than the steering stem.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Tag T2's all the way...don't settel for less. If you're worried about bending your stem vs. bars, you have other more important issues to be concerned with such as why are you flipping your quad, or preventing the damange in the first place.

Dude, at least check out the "flexx" bars. Best I've seen in 13 years of racing.

The FLEXX bars are fabulous for increasing rider comfort and decreasing rider fatigue, however, they come in at a lofty $350 price, as compared to $50-$80 for Renthals and $60-$100 for Tags.

why are the FLEXX bars so expensive anyway is it because the are anti vibe and like you said reduce fatigue.
