[HoleshotR15]

No clue theres a write up about it on 4play's site

[Jersey450R]

what is this sport coming to...soft bars?? c'mon man.

Have you ever ridden with these type of bars. I have flexx bars, they are nice, arms don't take as bad of a hit and you can ride longer. They take the "hit" out of hitting things, jumps and ruts that normally jolt up to the bars. If they didn't cost $300, all my bikes would have them.

Almost anybody that has hurt their wrists several times will like how they almost eliminate wrist pain, some say they eliminate arm pump too.

i think they are way too big, ill stick to flexx bars

they arent that big, pretty nice if you ask me but I like the simplicity of just a bushing on the flexx.

more pics, farther away from the quad?

Those things are huge! I would have to go back to a standard size steering stem. The look heavy, too.

4.5 lbs with alot of rise. And only one bar style.

What machine is that on? I thought they were only for kids quads.

How much were they and please post some more pics as well as a comparison with the flexx bars if you've used them.

Also it says on the site that they reached a settlement with FASST co. Whatever that was.

heres further away

From what I've read from test riders said they feel a lot better than the FASST bars. Just what I've heard. There's a couple guys on 450r.org that have used them.

I got a great opportunity from Tom at ATV Four Play to be one of the testers for his new bars. I am sponsored by him, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt. I am not trying to sell his product, just give my opinion.

1st PDS system is smooth through the travel of the bars.
2nd The stiffness adjustment can be make in seconds
3rd The bend of the bars closely matches the CR high bend
4th The quality of these is amazing, If anyone can manage to break or bend these they did a lot more damage than just the bars.
5th They have grease points at the pivots with a grease zerk you can leave in or remove and cap off after greasing.
6th The bar ends are 1 inch longer 6061 aluminum to help accommodate control and hand guard mounting options. Width is 32 inches.

After some beating today I have to say I am impressed with them. The biggest thing I noticed was the PDS. While it seemed soft at first the progressively got harder as the force increased while in the attack position through some nasty washouts. The test ones we have the risers are cast aluminum the retail ones will be CNC aluminum. Retail is $295 on these. There available though ATV Four Play.

As of today Feb 18th I have about 13 hours in testing of these bars. I have the okey dokey artichocky to Try to bend or try to break these bars down. I have dropped the ball, I can't do it. These are the real deal. I know someone will point out that I am a sponsored rider, I am Tom is a local business owner who I have been spending money and time with for awhile now. And I support him and his shop as much as he does me. Now some comments have been made about how there not bling, bling certified. If your a racer you know one thing, if it works you use if not you Ebay it. These work so I don't care if they look like a pair of ape hangers on a Harley, these work. Alot of time and R&D went into these so its not a fly by night design. We the riders gave the feedback in the pre production and Tom came through for us. Heres some pics.

Call and ask for Tom the owner he will fix you up.

Also ask Dusty at C&D I believe they are carrying them now from what Tom told me today.

They are the same height as a cr-hi with your stem mount, I thought the same thing until I talked to tom about them...really a nice product

[Extremeracer167]

look awesome to me. I can see it now, big fights over which bars are better. And a MILLION posts saying, "which bars are better Flexx or Four-play?" :p

[alberto]

what do they retail for? I like them but, what do they cost?

[Colby@C&DRacing]

Retail should be $285

How exactly do these things work. The site only says a progressive cartridge assembly inside the pivot area. Does that mean there is like a mini shock or what? The reason I am asking is because I can't find good pics of these bars anywhere, I'm about to give up and get flexx.

[hendershot106]

just call four play and ask for tom... he will take care of you.

There are pics posted above and there very detailed, don't really know what else your looking to see. LMK and I will try to get specific pics for you. Tom will be in Virgina at a MX race this weekend.
