Pro Taper Fuzion Handlebars 1-1/8

Pro Taper Fuzion Handlebars

The Pro Taper Fuzion handlebar is a unique concept in high performance control systems. The revolutionary flex locking crossbar offers the best of both worlds, allowing the rider to choose between a stiff, more controlled handlebar or a softer, shock absorbing feel depending on terrain conditions. The stiff setting would be desirable when track or trail conditions are smooth and mellow, creating positive, crisp feedback through the bars. As the terrain becomes rough, switching to the soft setting will offer more bar flex, resulting in less fatigue and improved shock absorption. Changing the bar from “Locked” to “Unlocked” takes only seconds and is as simple as turning the dial under the bar pad. The bar itself utilizes ProTaper’s exclusive aluminum alloy computer profiled 5mm wall design for the ultimate combination of weight savings and strength.
