Crafted from a premium 7000 series aluminum alloy, this handlebar features a computer-profiled 4mm thick wall construction that offers a perfect balance of strength and weight savings. Its innovative design provides increased flex and impact absorption compared to traditional handlebars, reducing rider fatigue during long rides or rough terrain. Weighing only 1.4 pounds (640 grams), the EVO handlebar is up to 25% lighter than comparable options while delivering 45% greater strength, making it a top choice for performance-minded riders. ProTaper's EVO handlebar undergoes high-tech shot peening, stress relief, and anodizing processes to ensure unmatched durability and resistance to weathering. Its scratch-and-peel resistant, chemically applied graphics maintain a sleek appearance even after extensive use. The handlebar features knurling on the clutch side for maximum grip traction and includes plastic bar end plugs that protect against debris and provide a more secure grip base. An epoxy inner coating further enhances corrosion resistance, extending the life of the handlebar in demanding environments. The design also incorporates a crossbar pad (sold separately) to improve rider safety and comfort, especially during impacts or falls. With its optimized flex and impact strength, the ProTaper EVO YZ handlebar offers an excellent balance between fatigue life and impact absorption. Its lightweight construction does not compromise strength, making it suitable for aggressive riding styles or endurance sessions. Whether you're updating your existing setup or building a new powersports vehicle, this handlebar provides the durability, grip, and rider comfort needed for high-performance riding. Manufactured with precision and tested for longevity, the ProTaper EVO YZ handlebar is a reliable upgrade that enhances your riding experience and vehicle control.Note: Crossbar pad sold separately.
