Flexx bars: good or bad?

[250rinLV]

i was thinking i might want some flexx bars. my dad thinks the wouldnt be worth s***. i race desert and sometimes some grand-prix style events and am planning to progress more into motorcross. i already have a denton steering stabilizer which i love. please either persuade my position to my dad or his position to me. im open to anything.

[250rinLV]

oh yeah i already have American star +2 a-arms an tcs triple rate shocks

My friend has bad wrists just like me, he got a set of flex bars and said he'll never go back, loves them to death. I want a set as soon as I get a job :)

For the type of racing you do, you'd love them. They help alot with lessening fatigue....in the longer GP races and desert racing I notice it the most. Even in MX, though - I like how they help reduce the really sharp blows that you feel sometimes when you hit a square edged hole or rut really hard......

I love mine......won't run without them.

[CannondaleRider]

Yep, love them. Go for it man! They're great.:D

[KTM265]

Yepper...Love the Flexx...Not a good picture from the side but add ODI watercraft grips and you'll love them even more.

y did you put flexx bars on a tt bike

[250rinLV]

Hey thanks for the input guys ill relay it onto my dad.

[250rinLV]

my dad still thinks they are stupid anyone else want to add some stuff for them?

[Pappy]

I was so skeptical about how well they work, i bought a set at retail to try them so if I did not like them I could b!tch and moan about how much they sucked.


After spending some time with them, I must say they are one of the best things ever invented to help wrist shock and they do help aleviate arm pump, atleast on me they do and I have terrible carpel tunnel and arthritis.

They do not look as cool as a set of chrome cr double high, but they work as the company making them states .

[Ripitupfilms]

just buy a set and tell your dad your getting them if he likes it or not

[TRX_450]

i saw a kool thign earlier....instead of buyin the bars for 300 or whatever....u can just buy inserts for your bars from i think it was motosport.com...im not sure but i saw em but check with c&d first but it was only like 50$ for the set

[Ripitupfilms]

they dont do the same thing

[400grl]

Not anywhere close to the same thing......

[LV rider]

I can agree with that. I have heard alot of people say they are not going to spend that much on a set of bars, thats fine but you don't know what you are missing we have had them since July of 04 well worth the money. I have ridden a couple of freinds atvs with out the bars and it amazes me how well the flexx bars work. My wife swears by them she has broken her left wrist twice and she is pretty confident that if she had the bars at the time it would have saved me some hospital bills :)

here is is straight from fasstco "No seperate parts are not available, however we have developed a damge warranty program. If you damage your Flexx Bars, you can return them to us and purchase a new set for $150.00."

[Pappy]

I think Fasstco made a mistake when they dropped the selling of replacement parts. They are a great bar, they function like they are claimed to, but it was a HUGE selling feature that got crapped on.

$300 for a set of bars is high enough, knowing that if something does happen to them you are crap out of luck sans another $150 does not sit well with me.


I havent heard of anyone really tearing them up though, and with the built in flex they can survive where standard bars wouldnt .

[JRP]

yea once i bend my tags i will probably get flexx bars.

very late bump

[mudboggin]

Flex bars is the best aftermarket part that I have installed on my quad. They are well worth $300.

[Ripitupfilms]

i have flexx bars there ok.. but the price i think needs to be cut down alot maybee 200$

[supafasst426ex]

i think i should get some, cauz i think i just broke my hand and thumb from hitting a jump and it had a hard landing!!:huh

[JandJRacingKFX]

I had planned on getting a set for my new honda Im setting up but after a few riders down here got them and THEN started getting armpump(which stopped once they took them back off) I think Im just gonna go back with my regular old trusted Tag T2's. Might buy a set later but dont know

[insaneracin2003]

i just got a set,i didnt race with them yet,so i cant give an evaluation.
