I've got MSRs in ATV bend and I really like them. They were only about $18. They are a graphite color with a sweet Honda bar pad (bought the pad separate). I've heard that many people like the CR bend. Also, something to think about, if you get super strong handle bars, if you roll/wreck the quad, you are more likely to bend the steering stem, which is more expensive than bending some inexpensive handlebars.

I like my Renthals also, I didn't buy ATV bars, I bought motocross bars. They were the Jimmy Button style.

Renthal sell 400ex bend handlebars. I like mine alot. But any quality bars are good it's just preference. You get what you pay for.

My Favorite are Tag T-2, Pro Tapers, or Renthal Fat Cars. All pro taper style bars looks sweet and they on't bend as easy.

Pro Taper are really tuff. If you bent those then you probably did more damage than that!! I can't see the pic under pro400exc's name... Why?

I like my renthal 400ex bend. They are a lot tougher than stock. My stockers were starting to fade and bend.

FMF 909's,,,tag metals,,,pro taper,,,I don't trust renthals after seeing my buddy break a pair after landing from a jump...Not a wreck but landing on all 4 wheels and SNAPOO...off with the left grip..:confused:

Thats interesting that the left grip part of the bar fell off. I just put on a set of renthals and I noticed that the left grip part was the only part of the bars that were knurled. Why would Renthal only knurl that part, especially when they go out of their way to say that they dont knurl the clamp area because knurling would weaken the bars.:huh :confused: :eek:

I hate my renthal bars they aren't very good i have the 400ex bend in silver and they bent like nuttin the cross bar cracked on it right where it meets the part that goes around the bar. i ordered a set of pro tapers gold they look sweet and are really strong and i won't have to worry about bustin the cross bar.

Yeah, that isnt your girlfriend, that is off of big guns web site. I plan on getting some silver renthals with a red pad. How much air was he getting when he snaped the bars? Sounds like a defect...
