ProTaper Contour SX Race Alloy Handlebars

ProTaper Contour SX Race Alloy Handlebars

The Contour Handlebar is ProTaper’s most popular model. Oversized-diameter handlebars without crossbars were invented and patented by ProTaper in 1991. Without sacrificing strength, this design yields increased flex and impact absorption over conventional handlebars, offering the rider improved comfort and reduced fatigue. With its 2000 series aluminum alloy construction and computer-profiled 5 mm-thick wall design, the Contour Handlebar is up to 20% lighter and 40% stronger than competing handlebars. It's also the most affordable way to equip your bike with the 1⅛" handlebar design that changed an industry.

1⅛" tubing at the clamping area
Exclusive 5 mm-thick 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior tensile and yield strengths
