| excellent. little price but well worht it if you can justify it. Takes the jar out of hard landings, feels like you have an extra inch or two of suspension travel. |

These bars seem to be in plague proportions.
I even bought a set from Quadsquad the other week, and I ride like a girl (oh hang on, I can't say that any more, most of the chicks out there now ride way better than me). I used them at the Mildura enduro yesterday, and I would have to say they are one of the best investments you could make. They helped reduce my arm/thumb pump almost completely, plus most important of all, they look really cool. Hey Adam, if you are reading this, I need another set for Chuckles, plus Ryan down here in SA wants some too. I will give you a call this arvo.

Hey Mick,
If you really want to test them...
Try bolting your old bars back on and going for a ride.
I'll bet you'll be crying after 5 minutes (10 minutes for a real bloke).
I told you there good.

Hi all.
I thought I'd throw out a few findings on Flexx Handle Bars.
With our new bikes, I've been doing a bit of playing with different elastomer grades that come in the accessories kits with the bars.
I think most Flexx's come with Red elastomers fitted as standard.
These suckers are the second to toughest and I usually go for the softest (blues).
soft to hard is: blue - yellow - red - black.
I have found that old elastomers are softer than new, and consequently, that you can run them in by squashing them up to about 5mm thick in a vise.
This dramatically softens the elastomer and basically gives them a fully run in feel. It easily makes more than a grade difference.
Some people like the tougher elastomer, preferring the save a broken wrist sort of insurance thing.
Me, I like the softer feel to combat fatigue and arm pump as much as possible.
I find preference can depend a little on your suspension too.
If you've got rock hard suspension... maybe soften bars.
If you've got nice soft zero preload stuff then maybe run stiffer bars for better feel and know you still have the heavy landing insurance up your sleeve.
Just thought I'd throw it out there so people had a play and got the best out of the product for themselves.
have fun.

LOVE THEM. I'm a big girl on a quad and these things make life bliss. Just need some softer grips to keep the blisters off of my girly hands.
Thanks to everyone who told me how great they were I reallly couldn't live without them |

softer grips will make your hands worse Hudson. try wearing some out, you don't get blisters from old hard grips.

You don't put the handle bars in the vice Scooter, just the elastomers.
Depends on how soft you want them.
I can just see you out in the workshop with the bars in a vice, standing there making engine noises like you're riding
