Well- the unthinkable happened to me the other day... flipping over my front end, seperating my shoulder and watching my 400ex do 2 front flips. The bike is ok... with the exception of severly bent handlebars. I bent them back into place- but I imagine they are now very unstable.

So I need new handle bars. All I ever hear about is Renthal... So I'm leaning towards them.. What are some things I should consider. I LOVE to jump and ride wheelies...

Does anyone have a similar riding style and have upgraded their bars? I know some bars are shaped different... so which one do you suggest for big air time? It sucks that I can't test ride different bars... I just have to buy one and hope it eventually feels good.

Thanks!

 

I like the Renthal (Trx bend)on my own quads. If you put stronger bars on, then you might bend your steering stem next time you crash hard. Some people I ride with buy cheap steel bars, because of that. They bring extra bars with them in the truck and replace them every time they crash! Some days we put more miles on to replace handlebars, then anything else. I'll stick with my Renthals.

 

I like renthal bars with the 400ex bend.

If you want to get stock bars I have a set you could have for a reasonable price... get in touch with me and let me know...

 

I've got TAG t5 bars. They are not 400EX bend, I don't know what they are. They work for me though. They are a tiny bit different than the stock bend. I think they are lower, or swept back or something. They are holding up great.

 

My tapor 909 bars are indestructable and with the oury grips it is a perfect setup, i would reccomend that bar/grip combination to anyone.

 

i like my pro taper bars,although i've never been able to bend them yet i've went through 3 factory stems.hopefully fixed that problem with a lsr stem.i think i would rather bend my stem than my bars to get me through the rest of the weekend.

 

If you liked the way your bars felt before get the Renthal 400ex bend. They are reasonably priced @ Rocky Mountain ATV Do yourself a favor and whatever you get fill them with silicone, it helps dampen the vibration.

 

Do you mean the sealer for windows and stuff that comes in a caulking tube?

 

I got the renthal race bend. Thay are a little more aggressive than the stock trx bend. but thay only come in two colors. If that matters to you.

 

r u serious about fillin them with silicon?, i never heard of that before but i could see how that might help though
