300 exc bars

Post by Laoch »

I was going to throw a new set of bars on the 300 I got from Phil, I'm not sure what size or bend/rise/etc. Any ideas?

Bars are a personal preference thing and kind of a pain in the ass to determine without trying a few sets ($$$).

To start with, does your bike have 7/8" or 1-1/8" bars? The former is one continuous diameter end to end and the latter is fatter in the middle where it clamps then tapers down to 7/8" where the controls go.

If you like the current bend, you could just put risers on to get more height.



I have a set of Pro-taper fat bars (kx high) and a set of Flexx bars (10* enduro high bend) I've loaned out for people to try if you have fat bars now.


My favorite bend bar is the oem bars on pre-ktm husky which were made by Magura. I like my bars to have an upward sweep and hate bars that are flat/have a downward sweep on them. Feels really weird.



For comparison:

Yeah, I remember now. I had to see what I ordered before. CR high is what I used last time. I can't remember if the 300 is fat or regular bar...it's at my SIL's house. I prefer a fat bar, this is for my son to ride, he doesn't know one from the other :lol2:

"Mint bike" :killingme:

It is a runner, but far from "mint".

Well, at least that ad says it has fat bars, so the year older 300 probably does too
