Looking to get some opinions on them. Broken my thumb twice and now it goes numb constantly when riding. Hoping these might help, but they’re pretty pricey for some bar mounts..

They work great! I have them on my KTM 150SX and 250SX. My hands get lot less tired due to reduced vibrations

Been running mine for the last 5 years. Prefer them to the standard rubber cones. Less vibration, better damping on big impacts and they don‘t twist when you crash.

The best bar mounts on the market. Expensive, sure. But worth it.

I installed them on my yz125 and noticed the difference only when i was driving my buddys yz125. The vibrations were killing me and on my bike i didnt feel any vibration.

Anyone have a comparison of the PHDS mounts vs LuxonMx mounts? Looking to purchase some and I’m in between the two.

I usually run the PHDS on my practice bike & the Neken SFS top clamp on my race bike. but now our racing season is over i have transferred the neken to my practise bike.

Iv used PHDS for 9 years now, it does work & is fairly cheap. Iv also experimented with the green washers which provide more cushion but i feel its slightly harder to turn the bike on slick bluegroove.

The Neken is more expensive but probably 5 times more effective. You couldnt even really compare the two. in my opinion it is definitely worth every penny (or cent).

They helped me keep riding as Carpal Tunnel syndrome really came on gang busters for me in the last few years.

I got the XTrig (but it's the same thing as the KTM PowerParts kit) boxed kit, as Mkerrwrench suggested, and, for me, it was a lot cheaper.

I tried the softer , Green elastomers that so many on other sites recommended, but found them much too soft, and giving a seesaw effect, end to end, to the bars. I went back to the std Yellow ones and all was good. I run them on a CRE500, so it's a fairly vibratory bike.

Trouble is, they don't do much (well, nothing would) for 6 fingers and a Thumb with 'Trigger Finger', so I've not been riding much lately between a few operations (over and above the Carpal Tunnel ones) and the Trigger Finger issues making it bloody hard to use my Brakes (I use a LHRB, can't use a foot brake) and the Clutch. Sad

Neat. I just got my Husqvarna Factory Parts PHDS mounts in... so good timing on this thread. Mine appear to come with see-thru 'clear' bushings. Assume that is the 'medium' hardness?

I recently installed them on my yz250x hoping this may help with the tendinitis in my wrist. I have been looking for something that would lessen the vibration and also lighten some of the harsh impacts. They do help slightly but not as significantly as I was hoping for. Thinking I am going to bite the bullet and buy a set of the Mako 360.

We have Luxon clamps on two of our bikes. We love them, and I had a real good get off recently, much to my surprise, my bars were still straight. Worth the cost, imo.

I tried the PHDS clamps a few years ago, they were nice, but the elastomers didn't seem to last long for me.

Fractured my right thumb a year and a half ago at Glen Helen, required surgery with 2 pins. Fortunate for me I don't deal with any numbness.

Anyhow, clamp-wise, with my X-Trig clamps on my '19 KX450, I'm running the new Flex Fix mounts that fit the Renthal Fatbar36's and I'm using the green (soft) elastomers. You've really got to consider trying the Fatbar 36's, they were a night and day difference from the Twinwalls with the old cut crossbar set up!
