Pro Taper Contour 1-1/8" Oversized Handlebars — Jet Black, Aerospace 2050 Aluminium, Contour Bend

Pro Taper Contour 1-1/8" Oversized Handlebars in CR High Jet Black are lightweight, aerospace-grade 2050 aluminum bars engineered to reduce armpump while keeping the stiffness needed for confident jumps and aggressive riding.

These Contour oversized handlebars from Pro Taper blend a proven bend profile with modern materials and rider-focused details. Manufactured from aerospace 2050 aluminum, they balance controlled flex and durability so riders can push harder without sacrificing feedback. Finished in jet black with chemically applied graphics and printed position guides, the bars arrive ready for custom trimming or bolt-on installation with a high-density molded pad for protection.

How do these handlebars affect comfort and control on long rides?

The Contour 1-1/8" oversize bars are designed to flex predictably under load, which helps relieve hand and forearm fatigue often called armpump. That controlled flex reduces chatter and sharp impacts while maintaining enough lateral stiffness for precise steering and stability during jumps or cornering.

• Aerospace 2050 aluminum construction offers tuned flex without excessive bend.
• Contour bend profile optimized for ergonomic wrist position and leverage.
• Knurled clutch side for a secure grip to prevent slippage under load.
• High-density molded pad reduces bar-to-chest impact when landing.

Will these oversized handlebars fit my bike and how do I install them?

The bars use a 1-1/8" oversized clamp diameter; swapping from a 7/8" (22mm) to 1-1/8" setup requires the appropriate handlebar mounting adapter. Pro Taper offers both universal and bike-specific mount kits for common models. Trim guides are printed on the bar for accurate cutting and setup.

• Requires adapter when switching between 7/8" and 1-1/8" systems.
• Printed 14" cut guides make precise handlebar modifications simple.
• Position guides printed on the bar for repeatable control placement.
• Knurled clutch side improves grip for secure control during installs.

What features protect the finish and enhance durability?

The Contour bars use a chemically applied "un-sticker" graphic process, which resists peeling and looks cleaner under repetitive use. The jet black finish is durable and hides scuffs, while the uncluttered printed model name and guides keep the appearance functional. The aerospace-grade alloy helps resist deformation from routine impacts.

• Chemically applied graphics that resist peeling and wear.
• Durable jet black finish conceals light scratches and dirt.
• Aerospace 2050 aluminum built for impact resilience and long life.
• High-density pad included to protect rider and bar during landings.

How much customization is possible with these bars?

Pro Taper designed the Contour bars for riders who like to fine-tune cockpit feel. The printed cut guides and position markers let you set exact lever and grip positions, and trimming is straightforward with standard handlebar cutting tools. If you change clamp standards, adapters and mount kits are available so you can keep the same bars across different bikes.

• 14" cut guides simplify trimming for desired width and clearance.
• Printed position guides speed repeatable control placement.
• Compatible with Pro Taper adapters and bike-specific mount kits.
• Knurled clutch side holds controls firmly in place after setup.

Who is this for: The Pro Taper Contour 1-1/8" Oversized Handlebars suit riders who want a modern, durable bar with a balanced flex-to-stiffness ratio—motocross and off-road riders who jump, corner aggressively, or simply want less arm fatigue on long rides. They’re ideal if you plan to personalize width and control placement, and if you have or are willing to fit the correct adapter for a 1-1/8" clamp setup.
