looks the exact same as the Fasst Flexx bars with the rubbers placed vertical instead of horizontal..

[Nahum]

Yeah, but who´s the manufacturer?
Maybe I can get one even cheaper than 159 Euros if I know the manufacturer ...

[beastlywarrior]

looks to me like atvfourplay theyve been out for a little over a year

[Nahum]

No, it´s def not a SoftBar from ATVFourPlay.

A Fasst Flexx copy.... with a minor change in design, overall not as refined... that appears to be way heavier, and seems to me will most likely not work as well? Yeah, I'll pass on those chances.

Little more than double your money and get the original, proven, Flexx Bar.

[Nahum]

The weight is 2400g
That would be about 5.29 lbs

Don´t know the weight of the Fasst Flex?

[300racer]

don't know either but i would say they are about the same weight and i would say these would work alright. but i am not a fan of fasst flex or these bars. they do not help you in any way (imo) i will stick with my pro tapers that weigh about 1lb and turn the four wheeler just fine.

Ever rode on a really rough track with Flexx bars? Braking bumps, sharp impacts, and the like?

Exactly! I had my Flexx bars off at Florida for the first time in 2 years (waiting on bushings and clips from Fasst) and could not believe the difference. Won't see me riding without Flexx bars anymore.

hhehehe aint it the sad truth........ I HATE CHINA

If someone tries them they should post up how they are compared to fasst ones. Could save some money! I rode my buddies xc with flexx bars and didn't notice a difference.

[honda450sl]

by the time you add shipping and potential customs fees, Flexx or Soft bars aren't that much more and are proven quality.

[younggun95]

Once people start trying the Precision Shock and Vibe Clamps they will be much preferred over flexx bars or 4-play bars.

You rode them yet?

[XCRacer236]

Flex bars are overrated and a thing of the past.

the new Precision clamps are where its at now guys.

[300racer]

i rode with flex bars for 1 season of racing and they was the biggest waist of money i have ever spent on a quad! not worth any where near $300

[younggun95]

Yes, I have ridden with the clamps. Night and day difference compared to the flexx bars and stock bars. I was a fan of Flexx until I ran these.

The Shock and Vibe clamps perform 10 times better. I tested them the week before a race not intending to race with them, but as soon as I pounded through some whoops for a couple hours I knew they were going on my race quad immediately. You rarely actually feel the bars moving like a set of flexx, so its more like the quad floating underneath the bars and the bars stay still sort of. Will definitely improve a riders stamina.

Now we bought a Fasst Flex handlebar and the Chinese handlebar.

IMO there is no signifikant difference between the two handlebars!

The only thing we noticed is that the Chinese handlebar has no o-rings but (let´s say) "grease grooves".

It seems as if both handlebars are made out of the same material.

The Fasst Flex handlebar weighs 3.74 lbs and the Chinese handlebar 4.19 lbs.

The Fasst Flex handlebar is about 0.6 inch higher than the Chinese handlebar.

The Chinese handlebar has a total height of 5.12 inches.

The Chinese handlebar has a width of 31.5 inches.

The Chinese handlebar has a bend of 14 degrees.

The blue elastomers of the Chinese handlebar seem to have the same stiffness as the red elastomers of the Fasst Flex handlebar. Both elastomers have the same dimensions.

[KFX450Rrider490]

and how are they?? did you ride with them yet?

[Nahum]

Not yet! We still got plenty of snow here. We want to test the bars on a MX track ...

[Nahum]

Now we powdercoated the Chinese-Flex-Bar and CNC machined some handlebar risers (also powedercoated in red) for the OEM YFZR steering stem.
