Pro Taper 2.0 Square Bar Pad Stealth — high-density closed-cell foam handlebar protector

The Pro Taper 2.0 Square Bar Pad (Stealth) is a high-density, closed-cell foam handlebar pad designed to protect riders and bikes while delivering a clean, low-profile look.

The 2.0 Square Bar Pad updates Pro Taper's classic bar protection with denser foam, a refined cover, and practical cut-outs for easier installation and steering-stem access. It fits across the center of the handlebar, shielding the bar and stem area from impacts and abrasion while resisting water and sweat thanks to closed-cell construction.

How does the Pro Taper 2.0 Square Bar Pad protect my bike and me?

The pad uses new high-density foam to absorb knocks and reduce pressure on contact points. The closed-cell structure keeps moisture and grime out of the foam, so it remains resilient under wet conditions.

• High-density foam dissipates impact energy for better protection.
• Closed-cell foam resists water, mud and sweat infiltration.
• Durable cover prevents abrasion and extends pad life.

Will this pad fit my handlebar and allow access to the steering stem?

The pad's square profile and factory cut-out for the fuel vent hose create clearance around common stem and wiring arrangements. It fits typical crossbar widths and keeps the area tidy without blocking essential access points.

• Square shape provides broad coverage across the center of the bar.
• Fuel vent hose cut-out eases steering-stem and cable routing access.
• Designed for straightforward trimming or positioning for a custom fit.

What aesthetic and durability improvements does the 2.0 version offer?

Pro Taper refined the outer cover to present a cleaner, more finished appearance on the bike. Multiple color and design options let you match the pad to your build while the tougher cover resists scuffs and fading during regular use.

• Improved cover design yields a neater, factory-ready look.
• Color and design choices let you customize your bike’s appearance.
• Rugged outer material stands up to dirt, sun and contact wear.

How easy is it to install and maintain the pad?

Installation is straightforward: slide the pad over the bar, align the cut-out with hoses or the stem, and secure. Maintenance is minimal because the closed-cell foam doesn’t absorb water; simply wipe the cover clean after rides.

• Simple slip-on installation with alignment for hose/stem access.
• Wipe-clean outer cover — no deep drying required thanks to closed-cell foam.
• Low-maintenance construction keeps performance season after season.

Who is this for? The Pro Taper 2.0 Square Bar Pad (Stealth) is aimed at riders who want a compact, effective handlebar protector with a refined look—ideal for motocross, off-road, and street riders seeking better impact management and a tidy cockpit. Choose this pad if you want upgraded foam density, weather-resistant closed-cell construction, and a cover that looks as good as it protects without demanding frequent upkeep.
