At the 34th Annual Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Championships in Hurricane Mills, TN ProTaper picked a pair of pee wee prospects to premier its new Micro Bars.
The unique abrupt taper design gives the Micro Bar a smaller diameter in the grip areas, while retaining a standard 7/8” diameter throughout the critical clamping and control areas. It also means standard triple clamps, kill switches and all other stock hardware can be retained. By utilizing a two-piece design, the Micro Throttle Tube can be fitted to any 2-stroke model off-road bike of 85cc and smaller by using one of the seven optional throttle cams packaged with every set of bars. The grips are a scaled-down version of ProTaper’s popular 1/3 Waffle Grip. Compared to the standard 22mm grip for grown-ups, ProTaper now has grips that are only 17mm in diameter.
Micro Bars are made from proprietary 2000-series T6 aluminum alloy and the crossbar is made from cold-forged aluminum. The crossbar clamps are CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum and adhered with aerospace quality polymer. The bars weigh only 1.55 lbs. (700 Grams) with bar pad.
