Handle bars? Quality etc

[Rip_Tear]

I need to get a new set of bars, so what kind of bars will be least likely to bend/brake and which are "safer" with the center bar or without? If I have missed a brand just choose other and name them :D I also have no clue on what kind of bend I want in the bars, I ride trails and a bit of mx if that helps? I like the stock bars, but havent ridden anything else...

Thanks!

pro taper are actually the best , tag and renthal are so so and i dont trust fly



tag, and pro taper are both good choices

I run pro-taper, no complaints. Been upside down a few times, haven't yet bent.

I've ridden tag protaper and renthal, tag and pro taper are like dead even. Prolly cus they are identical. They are a notch ahead of Renthal IMO

tags for me, by far the best in quality/looks imo.

Ive had my same renthals on 2 quads with many roll overs, bent stems and bent levers and never bent the bars, they are comfy too. My vote goes to renthal:D

TAG, even though I have Renthals. I would get CR 125 bend, either high or low whatever you prefer.

tag and renthal came in almost last in the stress test, pro taper was 1st, there all good, ill proba get tag for looks, maybe pro taper

I have had one set of renthals on my quad for 3 years now and it has been on its lid more times than I care to remember but no bends. I would like to try a set of pro tapers though.

Well I dont want an extremely strong bar, cause then your steering stem will bend :(

[Sportrax10]

Any strong bars are going to bend your stem. I bent my stem with my Renthals. You could buy weak $15 doller bars and just replace them a lot? I wanna get aftermarket steering stem anyway.

well tonight I flipped my quad on the road....its a gravel road that is about as hard as asphalut, and bent the stearing stem all the way down to the gas tank. I have renthal bars, and they didn't bend at all. I got out the 'ol torch and bent the stem back, and was thinking about getting an aftermarket stem, but than if that dosn't bend, and neither do your bars....than your frame is gonna start bending.....so I guess get weak bars if you don't want your stem to bend, get some flys, they are really weak. Weak enough to when I pulled up to do a wheelie they snapped at the clamp....:mad:

I hear everything everyone is saying. I am thinking that I will get Tag bars, I would rather the bars bend over the stem, but I would also rather nothing bend! or Break!

[hondarider2006]

I change that, my bars are slightly bent...:scary:

i like renthal. i have rolled the bike 2 time and the bars are stright. i bent the stem onec and had to replace that, but never the bars.
