Phoenix Handlebars Added a reply to Trials bar bend for motocross?
2/28/2026 7:42pm Good to know. Just was curious why you'd want to go with such a tall bar. Or with Neken's somewhat confusing specs... is it actually taller? I always first ask riders what style of riding they are doing first and foremost. Different disciplines of riding require different needs. And every rider has their own style. That's why I started Phoenix...

Currently on a 2020 KX250 with the stock Renthal 971 bend, and out of all the bars I've tried (on different bikes now) I've still always been stuck wanting less sweep (I should clarify, Neken measures sweep from the outer ends of the bar, rather than centre to centre, centre to centre is about 20mm less than measuring from the outer ends) and a higher bar. All of my bars I roll pretty far forward to try to replicate that feeling. Also this is the widest bar I could find and I like my bars wide, not sure why as...

2/28/2026 10:40am I agree with Feetup... why not give a try? A few questions. What bike are you riding? What bend is on it now? What makes you like the specs on the trials bend?

I have tried many bars over the past few years, 821, 827, 839, 996, Carmichael, Husqvarna stock, Windham, Henry reed, sx race, odi champ and quite a few more. Could not find comfort on most and I kept trying to force myself to like certain bars that I thought would put me in an optimal riding position but I kept coming back to the pro taper sx race. I went looking for some info to find out why these bars worked for me while other bars with similar specs didn't and I found this video handlebar sweep helper and I...

Morning gents, just to clarify, AP is already signed with us (THOR) for next year. I'll be going back to sleeping at the wheel now 😂

Phoenix Handlebars Added a reply to Need suggestions on wider bars for my Beta 300
9/24/2025 3:50pm The Pro Taper ACF says all of their bends have 220mm of CONTROL area. That should... should...be sufficient to add most of what you'd want on a bar including a mirror. You won't have any issues. For what it's worth... our bar has 220mm (control area) as well. Happy to help with any questions and that means with any brand...

Let me try to figure a few things out with it and I'll give you a call. You need to get some bar colors. More blue on my Husk would look sick especially on great performing bars.

Phoenix Handlebars Added a reply to Best YZ250 Bar Bend?
9/4/2025 7:26am You got it... there simply is no hard and fast rule that given a rider's body size or shape and this is the bar bend for you. I found that you can get a ballpark with that stuff but then you have to ask questions to determine what works. I figured we would make it as easy as possible with...

Also, some shorter guys (like me) have shorter arms and need a slightly taller bar. I’m not even sure what I have on my YZ, but I’ve got taller bars on my mountain bike.

Copy that and your right, tons of great info has come from this thread and now I know things to look for. When I get back home I'll have to get some seat time and hopefully go ride, put it all together and I hope I come to some conclusion....other than they need to be blue. Lol.

9/3/2025 12:10pm I see what you see... a white screen. It did open on both Safari and Chrome but it took about 20 seconds. I'll see what is affecting it. Thanks for the heads up. Try this link: https://phoenixhandlebars.com/pages/find-your-bar-bend

9/3/2025 7:40am There is a lot of great advice coming from this thread. Being about a foot shorter than you, I don't have any experience personally to dole out. But having been in the moto/handlebar game for 30+ years, I have seen it all. The ex-Indiana Pacers center, Rik Smits (7'4"), used to come into my shop and we would spend some...

9/2/2025 12:25pm Stoked I could help in some capacity. And like I said... I'm not trying to sell you on our bars. That just happens to a nice benefit if that happens. At the end of the day, I love that every person in here loves riding their dirt bike. If people ain't riding, there isn't much reason to buy bars and...

I read all the replies in here but I really appreciate the drawn out response from you! Helps explain everything and to be honest I’ve never tried y’alls handlebars. My buddy has a set on his yz250f and the logo is sweet so I can dig it. Haven’t heard any complaints on them. Anyways I just took the quiz and got the 90mm height and 55mm sweep like you said. Imma get a set and hope that helps gets me comfy on this thing. Thanks again!

9/1/2025 8:12am At the risk of looking like spam... and not wanting the wrath of Michael screaming at me... although he and I had a nice chat yesterday at Fox Raceway so I think I'm good. When I started Phoenix Handlebars it was to help answer that exact question. What bar do 'you' need? People always think that because you're tall that...
