ProTaper Raptor Contour High Handlebars 1-1/8"

Pro Taper Contour Handlebars

Oversize diameter handlebars without crossbars were invented and patented by Pro Taper. This unique design allows the bar to flex and absorb impacts better than standard 7/8" bars. The intentional bar flex leads to increased rider comfort and less fatigue, while the oversize diameter at the bar clamp area maintains bar integrity. The Contour handlebar utilizes a computer profiled 5mm wall design, making it 20% lighter and 40% stronger than most bars.

Features:

• 1⅛" tubing at the clamping area
• Made from proprietary 5mm 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior tensile and yield strength
• Most affordable balance between fatigue life, impact strength, and impact-absorbing flex
• High-tech, stress-relieved, shot-peened and anodized finish for unmatched durability
• Clutch-side knurling provides maximum grip adhesion
• Chemically applied cut lines and alignment grid are scratch- and peel-resistant
• Plastic end plugs keep the elements out and provide a stronger base for grip ends
• Weighs only 1.55 lbs. (720 grams) without pad
• Bar pad included
