The Standard bars and stem are a weak point for a few reasons ,Damage patrol and safety.
1)They bend instead of your frame at the mount .
2)When the bike spits you off and flicks up in the air 10 feet then lands on you ,the bars ,stem and the bumper... will give way a little on impact rather than your bones.
3)Components are heavier and slow your quad down.
Problem is with the standard handle bars ,the bend is not for everyone!
Theory , Better to bend/break stem and bars than frame and bones!
