Have to be one of the best investments I have made!

you can get them from adam at www.quadsquad.com.au they are about $425 RRP from memory.

Iv'e ridden more than a few quad with them on and the make a bit of a difference, running the softest rubbers is a bit strange though with how far they can move.

Hi Bushpig.
Fasst Co, Flexx bars really cant be wrong because they are the most 'tunable' bar you'll find.
They come in 12, 14 and 15 degree bends.
I prefer the 12 degree bends, but if you are very happy with more sweep like most standard bars have... go for the 14's or 15's.

The elastomers are also very tunable and easy to change.
The bars come with a kit that offers 4 different grade elastomers.

Petey is right, you do get a lot of movement out of well run in blue (softest) elastomers.
I use blue for desert and enduro events, and yellow for MX.
A lot of guys use Red, but I dont know of anyone using the super hard black ones.
It depends a bit of rider weight too, MrsBullet uses really soft blues which are spot on for her 60kg.

Initially, they apear a bit hexy... but after running them, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.
I't really noticable how much they do when you get 'back' on a same model bike without them (more so that when you fit them).

contact Adam at QuadSquad.

Mine came from Adam at quadsquad. Great to deal with.
Bullet is right about the cost, but they are worth the investment.
You don't notice the movement when you are riding.

For an unfit once a year rider I wouldn't live without them and for the guys that race and ride several times a week neither would they. Never heard a bad review about them and don't think I ever will. Well worth the investment IMO

You will need bar clamps or adaptor risers if you do not currently run fat bars.

They are brilliant. Have a set on my Banshee. Got mine from Austraco with adaptors for just over $400.00.

How's it going GYTR?
