type of bars to use??

[cr125type]

ok i have ahd the msr rage bars and i got tired of paying 18 dollars after every race to get new ones, they bent so easy. I finally spent a little money for bars i got the renthal 7/8" bars with the ricky carmicheal bend and i liked them alot and the i went and was practicing and massacured a hay bail and they bent pretty bad and now i was wondering if it was that the bars are a peice of crap or if i hit to hard for the bars and what kind should i get to replace them with.

Thanx yall

Cant go wrong with the TWinwall or the pro tapers

Alvin, there are very expensive bars!:ugg:

YOu are right, they dont come cheap and you have to buy a set of after market clamps for it as well. but they have been proven to take most punishment that you throw at them.


Do a search about bars and you will see how many people uses them.

The bars do bend but If they bend you will have stories to tell the rest of your heroic fall.. hehehehehe

I'd go with the Renthal twinwalls. They cost a bunch, but I belive that renthal will replace them if they EVER bend. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Ya Yzeater, i like Renthal Twinwall too.

But we don't have that kinda deal in Singapore.:ugg:

Or, if you don't want to go w/bars and clamps, go w/the TAG X-5's. 7/8" and stronger than the 7/8" Renthal's. They don't come in as many bends as the Renthal's, but the price is comparable, if not better.

I like the Azonics-Double Cross over the Pro-Tapers on my '01 CR250. Seems like less vibration gets through and I like the bend a little better. You can get them for about $90 to $100 mail order if you look around. They are twin-wall with a foam between the walls. They will replace them if you bend them as well. Keep you receipt.

I like protapers. i decided t osee if they were truly 'unbustable' as everyone says, so b4 i put them on i hi hem with a sledge hammer, no bend no dent, just a couple scratches. oh yeah, ive slaughtered some trees with them, too :p

I think i will go with renthal twinwalls:)

I have been using 7/8 inch regular Renthals for the last two years and haver never bent them. Sounds like you crashed pretty hard. If I were you I would investigate either Renthal oversized bars or Renthal twinwalls. Renthal will replace the twinwalls if you bend them.
