They combine engineered flex to help relieve forearm fatigue with the stiffness riders want for jumps and aggressive terrain. The bar includes printed position guides, knurling on the clutch side for secure grip, and 14\" cut guides so you can trim to your preferred width without guessing. A high-density molded bar pad is included for added protection and a cleaner look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these handlebars manage flex and control on big hits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour bars use 2050 aerospace aluminum and a shaped profile to tune how the bar bends under load—giving measured flex to dampen shock while maintaining enough rigidity for landing and steering stability.
