Make sure you buy the 7/8" bars.. Fat bars or 1 1/8" bars won't work without adapters

Renthal's are the ones who make the pro taper bars!! IMO THEY SUCK!! I have bent EVERY pair i have ever had. I ride hard tho....for the avg rider i think they would be ok, but me and ALL of my MX buddies wont use them either.

Renthal and Pro Taper are two seperate companies that both make handlebars and grips.

I thought renthal owned the pro taper company?? Maybe i am mistaken.
The renthal bars are the ones that we have all been bending up

Ok after checking my sources, Easton is the company who makes the Fatbars for Renthal, pro taper, 909....and on. They are all the same bars, just different names on them
