The Contour bar is ProTaper's best-selling handlebar. Oversize diameter handlebars, without cross bars, were invented, and patented, by ProTaper. This design allows the bar to flex more and absorb impacts better than other bars. This offers the rider more comfort and less fatigue without sacrificing bar strength. The Contour is the most affordable way to get your hands on the most sought after bar design in the world. The Contour handlebar utilizes a computer profiled 5mm wall design and is up to 20% lighter than other bars yet up to 40% stronger. * See Bend Specs in Last Photo Made from 5mm, proprietary, 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior tensile and yield strength. Most affordable balance between bar fatigue life, impact strength and impact absorbing flex. High tech, stress relieved, shot peen and anodized finish for unmatched durability. Left side knurling provides maximum grip traction. Chemically applied cut lines and alignment grid are scratch and peel resistant. End plugs help keep the elements out of the handlebar tubing and aid in longer grip life. Comes with 2.0 square model bar pad. Weighs only 1.55 pounds (720 grams) w/o pad.
