i just bent my stock bars on my 400ex. i need to get new ones but have no idea what to get. i want somehitng stronger than stock but i liked how the stock ones felt. im 6' and about 195lbs if that would help out with what size i might like better

i use renthal 400ex bend... they are taller then stock and not as much sweep back... they are the best bend i've found yet to me... i'm also about 6'0 tall...


heres a pic of them... mines on the right (red) the bars on the yellow 400 are cr low bend i think... way to low for me!!

have the same bars as Tommy. I have them on my r though. I like them, but would sometime like to try some lower bars. Just, I had mine adjusted rong for a while so like the end of the bars stuck up. But when i moved them back i liked them A LOT better.

I have CR mid bends. I like the way a lower bar feels; more relaxed. The 400ex bend is also good. I ran that for quite some time.

:huh My renthal bars aren't steel. Well at least the magnet says they aren't. I'm pretty sure they are aluminum alloy, but I'm no metalurgist. Tags are a nice bar but Renthals are too, and cheaper;)

Renthal aren't steel, and Tag aren't titanium. They are both an aluminum alloy. Not a big deal, just don't want to give anybody the wrong idea. :)

Exactly


Just don't buy any steel bars and you'll be fine. They bend easier and you'll feel a lot more vibration thru them compared to aluminum.
