im new, just bought a 88 trx 250 r, the stock bars are old and goofy, any sugestions on some lower profile bars, doing mostly agressive trail riding

I have fly bars, they're about $20-$30 they make for comfortable trail bars and great for jumping, track, stunt. Mind the price, they're really good. Durable, i've tried alot of the ones between $60 and $130 and i actually like these the best. Renthals bend easily, these are steel but they hold up well when dumped. Even on a 4 wheeler. They don't stick way up but they aren't way down either. They have them on ebay, they come in silver, white,black, red, blue, and maybe a few others.

I have had tag and renthal both, I put some trailtech x bars on my YFZ and love them......they are very very strong. Highly recommended. I have a set of low bends with a +1 stem and they are perfect for me. :)

I hated my Fly Handlebars... they were comfortable.... but when you flip a 300ex in a grassy field doing 2nd gear donuts... and your handle bars bend... there has to be a problem...

Fasst Co. Flexx Bars come in a wide variety of sizes and since you're doing aggressive trail riding, it would help you out a lot w/ arm fatigue and makes for an overall better ride.

PROTAPER ALL THE WAY
UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE FASST. FLEXX BARS

i have the contour black bars, mid windham rise
feels amazing
or get the new EVO protaper bars
heard those are the best bars out there except for the flexx bars

goodluck

Just a very stupid question,but if you go and buy normal size pro taper bars,do you need to buy their clamps??

my stock bars, stem, and frame must be like filled with concrete because they havent bent yet after all they have been through they rolled down 4ft of hill then dropped straight off and landed 12ft down maybe i cushioned my quads landing idk lol, I front flipped my quad at about 40 - 50MPH, and I flipped it doing donuts once and it fell on the bars to the side. Still straight as an arrow and there not a visible crack on anything on that quad. I think my 400ex might just be bullet proof
