Pro Taper Round Handlebar Pad — Race Red 8.6 in, High-Density Closed-Cell Foam Cushion

Pro Taper Round Handlebar Pad in Race Red is a high-density, closed-cell foam crossbar pad that adds impact cushioning and a professional look to any dirt bike handlebar with a crossbar.

This retro-fit handlebar pad wraps molded, high-density closed-cell foam in a vibrant race-red cover to protect riders from hard metal contact while elevating the bike’s visual appeal. Designed for handlebars that include a crossbar, the pad slides over the bar and stays in place to provide a continuous cushion between rider and metal. It’s sold in sizes to suit different bars and preferences and is built for off-road use where knocks and impacts commonly happen.

How does this pad improve safety and comfort on the trail?

The dense closed-cell foam compresses on impact to reduce force transferred to the rider and helps prevent abrasions from direct contact with the crossbar. The cover keeps the foam stable and resists tearing during rough rides, maintaining protection over time.

• High-density molded foam for energy absorption and impact reduction
• Closed-cell construction resists water absorption and compression set
• Full-wrap cover prevents foam exposure and reduces wear from rides

Will this Pro Taper pad fit my handlebar and how is it installed?

The pad is sized to fit handlebars with a crossbar; choose the 8.6-inch (listed size) option when that width matches your bar layout. Installation is simple: slide the pad over the crossbar and seat it centrally—no tools required for most setups.

• Designed for handlebars that include a crossbar or stabilizing tube
• Slide-on installation—no permanent hardware or adhesives needed
• Available in multiple widths for compatibility with common bar sizes

How durable is the cover and foam when exposed to dirt, sun, and sweat?

The race-red cover is intended to stand up to typical off-road conditions: dirt, UV exposure, and rider sweat. The closed-cell foam resists water penetration, limiting saturation and preserving cushioning performance after wet rides.

• Vibrant, durable cover designed for abrasion resistance
• Closed-cell foam prevents waterlogging and maintains shape
• Constructed for routine exposure to trail conditions without rapid degradation

How does the Pro Taper pad affect the bike’s style and fitment options?

The bold race-red color is engineered to give a pro-level accent to your handlebars and coordinate with team or bike graphics. With multiple lengths available, you can pick a pad that looks proportional to your bar and desired aesthetic.

• Race-red cover adds a professional, eye-catching accent to the cockpit
• Available in different widths so the pad aligns with handlebar proportions
• Clean, rounded profile preserves original handlebar ergonomics
