![]() There are a couple other brands below (that I have tried) for reference. For transparency reasons, I am letting you know that these are the companies I prefer. Again….This doesn’t mean other handlebars are crap. There are some other great options out there, but I prefer the two above. There are tons of handlebar companies out there, but for me, Renthal and Pro Taper are the bars that I prefer. If you like another bar brand, that is fine, simply look at the dimension of the preferred handlebar and try to mimic that dimension to your favorite handlebar company. This is just what I personally like myself and should be taken as such. This doesn’t mean that I am trying to sell you on these handlebar brands. Here are some of my favorite bar bends right here for 2022 as well as a recommendation on bar/bar mount heights for different sized riders.Īs you will notice most of these handlebars on this list are Pro Taper and Renthal. I noticed this article was a big hit the last few years just by the shear number of emails I get about handlebars, so I wanted to update some bends for 2022. Getting the height from your bar mounts allows you to keep proper technique (position) through corners (where most of the time is made up on a track). As you may have heard in my “Handlebar 101” podcast way back when (show #70), if the bar feels too low (height), you should try to get the bar height from your bar mounts and not the handlebar itself. As the years progress, dirt bikes evolve as well as their dimensions so don’t be that rider who sticks with a Honda High bend that you ran back in 1997. Every bike has a different rider triangle so you must adapt to different bar bends if you change motorcycle brands. I find that you can’t run the same handlebar bend on every bike, even though I like a bend on one bike, sometimes it doesn’t feel as good on another. The height, width, rise, and position is very important to me between each bike that I test. When it comes to handlebars I am a pain in the ass.
