Why Pro Taper Stands Out in Handlebars
Pro Taper has built a legendary reputation in the motocross and off-road world for crafting handlebars that withstand brutal abuse while prioritizing rider comfort. Made from high-grade 2014 aluminum, these bars offer an optimal balance of lightweight performance and bombproof strength. What sets them apart is the precise engineering of bends and rises, ensuring natural wrist positioning during aggressive maneuvers. Riders trust Pro Taper for their consistent quality, making them a staple in cycling and powersports upgrades.

Comparing Pro Taper Models in This Category
With four standout options, choosing the right one boils down to your bike model and riding style. The SE Series 7/8" Standard Handlebars in XR50/Jet Black offer a classic straight profile for everyday trail use, providing stable control on technical sections. For those needing more rise, the 7/8" ATV High Bend SE Handlebars in Black (2110D) elevate your stance, perfect for standing jumps and whoops on ATVs.
The Seven Eighths Standard 7/8 (XR50) in Platinum Grey mirrors the Jet Black XR50 version but adds a stylish grey anodized finish for bikes with custom aesthetics. Finally, the SE Series 7/8" Standard for DRZ/KLX110 in Jet Black caters to supermoto and trail enthusiasts, with a bend optimized for agile handling on twisty tracks.
High bend suits aggressive ATV riders, while standard bends excel on mini bikes like XR50 for youth or pit bike fun.

Buying Guide: Selecting the Perfect Pro Taper Handlebar
Start by matching your bike: XR50 owners gravitate toward the standard Jet Black or Platinum Grey for plug-and-play fit. DRZ/KLX110 riders should opt for the dedicated model to maximize steering precision. Consider your terrain—high bend for sand or jumps, standard for tight woods. Always verify bar width (typically 28-32 inches across models) against your controls.
Pro Taper's knurled center and end areas enhance grip security, reducing fatigue on long rides. Pair these with quality grips and risers from our handlebars, headsets & stems category for a complete cockpit refresh. Backed by rigorous testing, these bars outlast stock replacements, saving you money long-term.
