Flexx Bars... The only way to go.
Talk to Adam from QuadSquad, he knows everything about them

Thanks guys they look like the go, but what bend is suited to what? Seems like a million choices, would hate to spend the hard earned on the wrong ones.
Cheers Ben |

There is a lot of personal preference in choosing the bend.
I prefer 12 degree for MX and short circuit racing on a DS450, but 14 degree for Enduro and Desert racing on Renegade / Outlander.
Other factor like how wide your shoulders are make a difference too. Many lighter frame ladies go for the 14 or 15 degree bends (to generalise).
I have tried 10 degree for Enduro and they did not work for me.
Most standard bars are 14 to 16 degree, so if you like them, stay close to that shape.
Just about all the other angles on Flexx bars are adjustable, and you usually get a choice of high or low.
12's and 14's are probably the most common, but talk to Adam and he'll help you from there...
Because the next thing you'll want to know is will you need bigger clamps, risers, and are all your cables long enough for whatever model bike you have.

Flexxbars are the go, they dont seem to do much when your riding untill you ride a quad without them, then they show there difference from normal bars
