ProTaper Contour Carmichael Handlebar - Platinum Gray

The ProTaper Contour Carmichael Handlebar - Platinum Gray is a full-size aluminum handlebar built around ProTaper's Contour line, which targets riders who want solid construction and durability without stepping up to a top-tier price point. ProTaper forms it from a proprietary 2000-series T6 aluminum alloy, then shot peens and stress relieves the bar before applying an anodized finish, a process the company says produces a bar that balances fatigue life, impact strength, and flex. The clutch side is knurled for a secure grip hold, graphics are chemically applied to resist scratching and peeling, and the bar ships with a crossbar pad. It suits motocross and off-road riders looking for a dependable bar at a more accessible price.

This bar measures 800mm wide, giving you solid leverage on the bike, and the width can be cut down but not extended if you need a narrower setup. Rise comes in at 40mm, which positions the grip area a moderate distance above the clamp and works well for riders who spend time both seated and standing. Sweep is 55mm, angling the grips back toward the rider enough to put the wrists in a comfortable, relatively relaxed position, while the 180mm control area gives you plenty of straight bar to mount levers and switches.
