I wanna replace my stock bars, but im not sure which bars to get. I wanna keep the same 7/8 fitting. I've been looking on the internet at the Renthal offroad bars, Pro Taper SE bars, and the TAG X5's. They are all around the same price, but i want peoples opinions on which set they think are the strongest and seem to like the best.

I've used Renthals, never Tags, but so far I like my Pro Taper bars the best. I've bent a few sets of bars before and these are still perfectly find. The Renthals also felt cheap, JMO.

All three are very good brands. It up to you and your preference.

I have many sets of Tag bars and love them, never had any problems. Even put some on a couple sleds I used to have. Had one set of pro taper but didnt like the bend at all. So not to say there bad just didnt like the way they felt. Never had renthal. Go to a stealership or something to try out the different bends to find one that suits you. From what I understand they are all good. Just there all personal preference.

I like my tag t-2 cr double highs. i have not used the rest though. i think the renthal bend is actually for the 400 if you get the bend. i am not sure on that either though.

I have Tags. I don't remember what model they are but the bend is awesome. It feels very similar to the stock. They're also very low. They have held up great. I haven't rolled or anything with them yet, though. Knock on wood. :D
