The EVO Handlebar is ProTaper’s flagship unbraced handlebar. 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. Using a premium 7000 series aluminum alloy construction and computer-profiled four millimeter-thick wall design, the EVO Handlebar is up to 25% lighter and 45% stronger than competing handlebars.

Used by top professional riders and race teams like Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing, GEICO Honda, and JGR Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing
Exclusive 4 mm-thick 7000 series aluminium alloy offers superior tensile and yield strengths
Optimum balance between fatigue life, impact strength, and impact-absorbing flex
High-tech shot peened, stress-relieved, and anodized finish for unmatched durability
Independent lab tests show that the EVO Handlebar leads the market in fatigue life
Epoxy inner coating resists corrosion
Clutch side knurling provides maximum grip adhesion
Chemically applied cut lines and alignment grid are scratch- and peel-resistant
Plastic bar end plugs keep the elements out and provide a stronger base for grip ends
