“The ProTaper Hyperlite is the lightest and most reliable bar in XC racing.“
THE CARBON BAR

ProTaper stands for handlebar and controls
PFL Carbon
ProTaper Carbon bars feature PFL (Plastic Foam Lamination) manufacturing. PFL utilizes tiny particles and steam pressure in the lamination process to expand and the structure of the bars.
As a result, ProTaper carbon bars have a consistent material density. The process uses less excess resin and fewer plys, resulting in a 15% lighter bar.”
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.

CARBON VERSIONS
C12
12mm rise, 31.8mm Diameter, Chrome. ProTaper Carbon bars feature PFL (Plastic Foam Lamination) manufacturing. PFL utilizes tiny particles and steam pressure in the lamination process to expand and shape the structure of the bars. The process uses less excess resin and fewer plys, resulting in a 15% lighter bar. and Textured “Grit Grip” finish in clamp areas eliminates over tightening of components.
