Too many bar bend options!!

Right here buddy with a rg3 triple clamp ordered with a forward and higher bar clamp. I hope pro taper makes the bend yet. Dam thieves even took 2 pairs setup with a grip on. Oh 6,2 long arms.

6ft here, Stock KTM from their 2012 line up, pretty flat but I enjoyed those the most.

I had a 2019 sx 250 and am 188 cm so the cockpit felt too tiny. So I put fastway 5mm lowered and backwards pegz and a higher fatbar the 827 wich followed bit more the bend of the original one. I tried old cr high 605 bend wich I used on my jap bikes but didnt match the ktm.

Now on my kx250 21 . I started with the 827 but something felt off. So i went to the original 837 :-) and seems perfect.

Go on renthal site and you can compare all the bends. In my case the right bar for the ktm wasnt the right one for the kawi...and the 605 used on all my suzukis. I'm using renthall coz of sponsor deals but pro taper is bit more comfy in my opinion like on the huskies :-)

Good luck! It's worth looking for the right bar :-)

ProTaper SX Race. Really like that bend and not as harsh on the wrists

I’m 6ft+ and I run either the Renthal 827 / 996 or Pro taper SX race bend.

Edit/note. If you’re going with the pro tapers, run the evo bars, they’re much more forgiving than the contour and the fuzion.

Ditto, I recently went to Windham bend Fatbar and love them.

Idk why I took so long to figure it out because it was my go to Twinwall bend when I had a Yami and a Zook a long time ago.

Like you said Falcon, you get decent rise without aggressive sweep. After only 3 rides, my back and shoulders are already less sore afterwards.

Too many bar bend options... That is exactly what we thought before starting Phoenix Handlebars. So many bends, not enough time and money to try 'em all.

And as you can see from all of the comments, everyone has their reason why they like the one that works for them. I would agree that simply because you're tall, you don't necessarily need a taller bar. If you feel cramped and don't enjoy the ride, you probably need more space. Look at what you have and consider going taller. You'll ride better because you feel better. Don't sweat the geometry of bike handling just yet. Worry about comfort. Well... if you are shooting for a factory contract, then maybe worry about that handling.

I was hesitant to reply because I don't want to be blown out for spamming. However, I don't care what bars you use... as long as you're moto'ing. If I can offer any advice, ask away.
