I'm an avid listener of Pulp (I don't think I've missed a show since 2017), and a big fan of Kris Keefer (so no hate coms here). But, since I live on the East coast and never listen to the show live, I have to share my IDKM here. As some of you other listeners may recall, Keefer went to the Renthal HQ in the UK sometime ago, and they allowed him to create his own bar bend. That bar bend actually entered production and is now known as the FatBar 661. Keefer is not only credited on the Renthal...

Got it... Thanks for explaining that. I don't listen to Pulp as much anymore but I can see where you're coming from. To me, it's just another bar with a rider's name on it. I've always assumed Renthal/PT/MIKA and the rest have pretty similar bends and aren't coming up with tons of new stuff, so I never considered this to be a unicorn bar.

A few things at play here: Measurement Technique: The measures of all these dimensions seems to different slightly by bar company, so I wouldn't take those number to be an exact comparison. Manufacturing Tolerances: We're talking about a bent, tapered, tube of aluminum here. I bet the bending is consistent bar to bar for the most part, and most importantly right to left. But I wouldn't be surprised if the final numbers had tolerances of +/- 1mm or more. And unless they're cutting that total width after the bending, That's the value that will vary the most as 4 bends...

9/10/2026 3:05pm Not that my opinion means much... but I've been lucky enough to work in the moto industry for 30 years. I've always said there is a kid in Indiana that would give his left nut to do what I have done. So I never have taken for granted what a killer life I live. It's in my blood to make...

That’s the helmet! I’d like a blue one just like my old Moto 4, but if they made new ones today I wouldn’t really care about the color!

7/27/2026 5:39pm When I worked at a shop back in Indiana, the local distributor (KK Motorcycles) had Bell Mag 4's in the back of their catalog on clearance. Mind you, this was in '95 so not much demand. I snagged one for like $70 on closeout. Never wore it. Just have it sitting above my desk to remember a young Bradshaw on...

I wish so bad that Bell would reintroduce the original Mag 4 with modern materials and Troy Lee would make some of the old Aero 2 visors for them!

7/27/2026 5:19pm My friend Chris Echelmeier and I have this conversation quite often. Something about those older helmets that still have timeless coolness (at least to us.). Chris is a helmet painter and did some of the iconic production graphics at TLD and then for the past 12 years at Fox. The Bell Moto 4 and Mag 4 still look killer. Mean...

Just put the Nexus mounts on the kids 85. Very nice. Would like even softer elastomers. about 26% lighter than a standard mako.

I'm going to try the Luxon Nexus clamps. But my buddy had flex bars on his RMZ 450 and really liked them.

3/25/2026 8:33am Great work. Being originally from Indiana myself, I love seeing more spots for the riders there. If there is anything I can do, please don't think twice about reaching out.
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?
