Protaper has a wide range of Bars to suit all motocross bikes.

 

Top of the range are the new ACF Handlebars 

Protaper ACF Carbon bars

Carbon Core:

Unlike traditional carbon fiber fabric, unidirectional carbon fiber is unwoven. Its fibers run parallel to one another in a single direction. This allows the fibers to lay completely flat with no gaps between them. These densely concentrated fibers provide unidirectional carbon fiber with maximum longitudinal tensile strength—typically twice that of a traditional carbon fiber weave. ProTaper® ACF Handlebars use a revolutionary unidirectional carbon fiber core system to reinforce the aluminum tubing. The added strength allows the aluminum tubing wall thickness to be safely reduced in key areas, greatly decreasing weight and producing unrivaled impact-absorbing flex.

Control+:
The four-stroke era has pushed motocross technology forward at an unprecedented pace. As a result, handlebars are quickly becoming crowded with hydraulic clutches, ignition mapping switches, electric starters, and more. With their innovative Control+ design, ProTaper® ACF Handlebars are the first to address this growing concern. Control+ features 220 millimeters of control space—up to 40 millimeters more than conventional 1⅛" handlebar designs.

Fuzion Handlebars

Protaper Fuzion bars

The Fuzion Handlebar is a new concept in high-performance control systems. Its revolutionary flex locking design allows riders to choose between a stiffer, more controlled handlebar feel and a softer, more shock-absorbing one, depending on terrain conditions. Switching between the “Locked” and “Unlocked” settings takes only seconds. The handlebar itself utilizes ProTaper’s exclusive 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy with a computer-profiled 5 mm-thick wall design for the ultimate in lightweight strength.

EVO Handlebars 

Protaper Evo Bars

The EVO Handlebar is ProTaper’s flagship unbraced handlebar. Oversized-diameter handlebars without crossbars were invented and patented by ProTaper in 1991. Without sacrificing strength, this design yields increased flex and impact absorption over conventional handlebars, offering the rider improved comfort and reduced fatigue. Using a premium 7000 series aluminum alloy construction and computer-profiled four millimeter-thick wall design, the EVO Handlebar is up to 25% lighter and 45% stronger than competing handlebars.

SE Handlebars

Pro Taper SE Bars

The Seven Eighths (SE) Handlebar represents the state of the art in ⅞" handlebar design. Its 2000 series aluminum alloy construction and five millimeter-thick wall design, combined with its cold-forged crossbar and CNC machined clamps, make it perfect for riders who prefer solid, predictable feedback.
