What are they?
Why are they the preffered set of bars to use?
And do they fit a raptor 700?

Once you ride with a set you will never ride with any other bars. I rode without mine on the weekend just gone and I didnt really appreciate how much Flexx bars do, until I didnt have them!

The only thing you will need to make sure for a set to fix your raptor, is that you have fat bar clamps.

See them as another set of shock absorbers. When you have flown too high.
I like them.
They have a kind of 'booby" action Smile

Over here in Holland the flexx bars are THE way to go as well.

We ride alot of sand tracks and as the day progresses, the "brake bumps"
right before a turn get so deep that if you didn't run Flexx bars....yours arms will fall of!! Laughing

They do a great job at flattening out smal, sharp bumps and also making a harsh landing a bit more pleasant.

There are other options BTW. I run a set of XRW flex bars and in the USA there is a company called Fourplay that makes a kind that directly bolts onto the steering stem, without bar-clamps.

Hope this helps.

....hmmmm...boob.... no worries
