CARMICHAEL PROTAPER BLACK, CONTOUR HANDLEBARS 027909, A02-7909
Contour Handlebars in Black. Featuring 1 1/8" tubing at the clamping area and constructed from exclusive 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior tensile and yield strengths. These handlebars offer the best balance between fatigue life, impact strength, and impact-absorbing flex. The high-tech shot peened, stress-relieved, and anodized finish ensures unmatched durability. Clutch side knurling provides maximum grip adhesion, while chemically applied cut lines and an alignment grid are scratch- and peel-resistant. Plastic end plugs keep elements out and provide a stronger base for grip ends. This handlebar is 5 mm thick and weighs 1.55 lbs (703 grams) without the included handlebar pad. The Contour Handlebar is ProTaper's most popular model, offering increased flex and impact absorption over conventional handlebars for improved comfort and reduced fatigue. Its computer-profiled 5 mm thick wall design makes it up to 20% lighter and 40% stronger than competing handlebars.

This innovative construction provides increased flex and superior impact absorption compared to traditional handlebars, leading to a more comfortable ride and reduced rider fatigue.

The computer-profiled 5 mm thick wall design contributes to a lighter weight and enhanced strength, making them up to 20% lighter and 40% stronger than comparable handlebars on the market.
Key features include a high-tech shot peened, stress-relieved, and anodized finish for outstanding durability and resistance to the elements. The clutch side is ergonomically knurled to ensure maximum grip adhesion, preventing slippage.
