Well need the opinion from people who run the Flex Bars on there minis. My son broke his arm racing last weekend.:( Are they worth the money, would they maybe help prevent this from happening? Thanks for any help.

I dont think anyone could predict if the soft bars can prevent a broken arm, but i would say that it is definately a preventative measure. We have been using the fasst flex bars for 3 years, and recently switched over to the atvfourplay soft bars. The fasst bars are nice, but i prefer the atvfourplay for the kids. They seem to have a more kid friendly dampning system, and my son loves the way the dampening is progressive. My son has very small arms and wrists, and races in some brutal terrain, and i feel much safer with him doing that with the soft bars.

We run with the flexx bars for the last 2 years. T loved the difference after we put them on. We saw Tom's Bars in PA and yes it is a good quality product. Can't go wrong there. Tom's was very accessible to the customer there as well.

They will bolt up to the older style stem w/o anti vibe and the newer style w/ anti vibe.

I would think those would be nice on a trail setup. Roots, ruts and rocks....

Just mounted up a set for Caden's DRx50 over the weekend for an XC race. They came in handy when he was tagging trees left & right and went over them several times as well.

As soon as I figure out how to get it posted, I'll have the helmet cam videos to view.
