CARMICHAEL PROTAPER RED, CONTOUR HANDLEBARS 027991
ProTaper Contour Handlebars in Red. Features include 1 1/8 inch tubing at the clamping area, constructed from exclusive 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior tensile and yield strengths. The handlebars have a 5 mm thickness and a weight of 1.55 lbs (703 grams) without the included pad. They offer the best balance between fatigue life, impact strength, and impact-absorbing flex. The finish is high-tech shot peened, stress-relieved, and anodized for durability. Clutch side knurling ensures maximum grip adhesion. Chemically applied cut lines and an alignment grid are scratch and peel resistant. Plastic end plugs help keep elements out and provide a stronger base for grip ends. This model is ProTaper's most popular, invented and patented in 1991 as oversized diameter handlebars without crossbars. This design increases flex and impact absorption over conventional handlebars, leading to improved rider comfort and reduced fatigue. The computer-profiled 5 mm thick wall design makes these handlebars up to 20% lighter and 40% stronger than competing handlebars. Handlebar pad included.
