Leatt from head to waist, Astars pants and Gaerne boots... all the trappings of a factory racer! E-start EFI two-strokes sound like fun though. Bring it on!

Phoenix Handlebars Liked a reply to forum topic Too many bar bend options!!

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...

Guys, need some help, as I just can't afford to cycle through all the different bar bends. So, looking to purchase a new set of Renthal Fatbars. I'm 6'1" tall, and currently on a 2021 KTM250SX. For you guys in the 5'11 - 6'1" range, is there a more common preference? Thanks gents!

ProTaper SX Race looks to be (statistically) favored in these responses. Thanks all! Going to go this route on my replacement bars

I run the SE4. I've worn it for quite a few years and have taken some pretty big hits in it. The multi-layer EPS and MIPS have been tested by my head on a few occasions and I've even destroyed a coupl'a brand new ones in off-road & track crashes...using up that multi-layer EPS in both cases. So, I'm in the TLD/SE4 camp. Period. I've worn all of them from the Polyarcylite to Composite and the Carbon. While typing this I looked up SE4s on the TLD site & found... Poly's on sale for $208 Carbon's on sale for $540...

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.

I’m 6’ and use the pro taper sx race bend (87mm height) on a Ktm 350, for me anything close to that bend feels the best for those bikes. I didn’t mind the stock dimensions, but liked the little bit of height better. Also I rotated the bar clamps so they more in the middle of the top clamp, that helped give some more room.

My broher is 6'3" on a GasGas MC450. He has went between the Pro Taper EVO Husqvarna bend and the SX Race bend (slightly taller). Being a taller guy, I was surprised that even he preferred the Husqvarna bend, which is also my preference at 5'11" on a 2021 KTM 350.

I had an SE4 Carbon that fit like a medieval torture device. I had to get rid of it. I had the pressure point on the forehead, but even worse, the rear of the helmet squeezed my skull right behind the ears. It gave me head, neck and back aches. Sad

The SE4 is the roundest fitting helmet you're gonna be able to get without importing one from Japan. I would assume that the Moto 9 MIPS fits more like the MX-9 MIPS than the Moto 9 Flex, and the MX-9 in my opinion is intermediate oval, maybe a little on the round side. I would label the SE4 as round. The SE4 is shaped kind of like a football in that it narrows up at the forehead like how most oval heads are shaped but it still fits round. I have a round head and if I were to wear...

^^ What he said. Are you looking for taller, wider, more or less sweep, stiffer, more forgiving? I'm 6'4" and I like the KTM High bend. Very similar to the CR High but less sweep.

6ft here and depending on the bike I either run sx race or Henry/Reed. Keefer is a great resource for this kind of stuff and he is in that height range I would check out his bar recommendation for ktms on his website.

I'm 6'4" and believe tall bars are over rated. I've tried before and they make weighting the front wheel, turning, more difficult. During the transition from standing to sitting in the corner my front wheel would become unweighted and I would wheelie, in the middle of corners. I run the stock Yamaha bar bend. And the only aftermarket bar that I have liked was the Pro Taper Windham.

i'm 6'3" and use the Renthal Fatbar 604 on most of my bikes. This was the stock Honda bend for many years. Go to Renthal's website and do the bar comparison. Great tool.
