Aluminum Bars

Strength Where You Need It

From day one, we have never stopped pushing the limits of metallurgy and FEA. While the all new ProTaper MTB alloy bars have evolved over the years, one thing has remained the same: our original ProTaper concept remains: Thicker at the clamping area, tapered down in low-stress sections.

ProTaper MTB is the brand for cockpit components that inspire confidence from the start gate to the finish sprint and everywhere in-between.

Protaper Aluminum bars are available for whatever plans you have in mind, stiffer than can carbon for ultimate control.

“A stiff pry-bar is what is needed to cut through a fresh trail and navigate the pitiless rock garden.“

THE MTB ALLOY BAR

Get Behind the Bar That Started It All

“All of this mountain moto experience = ProTaper stands for handlebar and controls expertise, and this lends itself to great products that the rider can feel confident in—both the legacy of the name and products, as well as well as how they perform.”

Ergonomic Shape

The shape of a handlebar plays quite a big role when it comes to the proper seating position on a bike. ProTaper MTB handlebars come with an 8° back sweep and 4° upsweep that actively supports a proper riding position and minimizes the risk of numb fingers. Based on your preferences and riding style you can chose from 2 different (3 on alloy bars) rise options that will allow you to find the best balance on your bike.

Youth Handlebars

For the Youth ProTaper mountain bike handlebar system, we flipped the script. We began by determining the ideal grip diameter and worked inward. The result is a handlebar and grip that’s ideal for a smaller ergonomic profile. JUNIT ProTaper handlebar and grip are designed to be used together. For an element of added safety, the grip utilizes a built-in bar plug that will never fall out. The JUNIT ProTaper handlebar system works with all existing shifters and brakes, as the grip features standard component mounting diameter.
