When you need to modify the bars, Pro Taper has provided ¼” cut guides for precision. The handlebar includes a high-density molded bar-pad, and comes in four colors, gold, black, platinum and silver. Pro Taper handlebars are 45% stronger and 35% lighter than conventional bars.
Pro Taper SE handlebars are made with high strength 2014 aerospace aluminum alloy with a rating of 70,000 psi. The SE handlebar has ¼” cut guides for top precision
Fatigue life is increased due to the shot-peened finish. Maximum strength is provided by the 5 mm wall thickness. The crossbar is cold forged and the hardware is formed of the highest quality of stainless steel.

Pro-Taper Twister Frictionless Throttle Tubes are the best on the market, hands down. The throttle tube is made of anodized aluminum. The sealed ball bearing and polymer bushing areas ensure consistently smooth throttle operation. The grip mounting area is knurled .so there is less likelihood of slippage. This means that the Pro-Taper Frictionless Throttle Tube is less likely to be damaged in a crash.
The Pro Taper rubber mount clamp provides up to five mounting positions for the handlebar which helps improve rider positioning. A better position reduces fatigue and improves handling of the bike. The bolt pattern on the mounting clamp maximizes bar clamping strength.
Still, the most important components offered by Pro Taper folks is the skill, competitive operation, and attention to detail in order to provide the best possible product without exception, each time. Consistent quality is what builds trust and we believe you will agree, Pro Taper has that consistency.
