ProTaper ACF Handlebars

ACF - ALUMINIUM / CARBON FIBRE

Carbon Core:

Unlike traditional carbon fibre fabric, unidirectional carbon fibre is unwoven. Its fibres run parallel to one another in a single direction. This allows the fibers to lay completely flat with no gaps between them. These densely concentrated fibres provide unidirectional carbon fibre with maximum longitudinal tensile strength—typically twice that of a traditional carbon fibre weave. ProTaper® ACF Handlebars use a revolutionary unidirectional carbon fibre core system to reinforce the aluminum tubing. The added strength allows the aluminum tubing wall thickness to be safely reduced in key areas, greatly decreasing weight and producing unrivaled impact-absorbing flex.

Control+:

The four-stroke era has pushed motocross technology forward at an unprecedented pace. As a result, handlebars are quickly becoming crowded with hydraulic clutches, ignition mapping switches, electric starters, and more. With their innovative Control+ design, ProTaper® ACF Handlebars are the first to address this growing concern. Control+ features 220 millimeters of control space - up to 40 millimeters more than conventional 1 1/8" handlebar designs.

• The first carbon fibre-reinforced aluminum handlebar for motocross.
• Revolutionary Carbon Core system uses lightweight and exceptionally strong unidirectional carbon fibre cores to reinforce the aluminum tubing and safely reduce its wall thickness in key areas.
• Precise reductions in the aluminum tubing wall thickness significantly decrease weight and produce unrivaled impact-absorbing flex.
• Lightest 1 1/8" (28.6mm) motocross handlebar—up to 20% lighter than conventional (28.6mm) designs.
• 7000 series aluminum alloy offers superior tensile, yield, and fatigue strengths.
• Advanced shot peened, stress-relieved, and anodized finish delivers exceptional durability.
• Innovative Control+ design brings motocross handlebars into the modern era, providing more space for controls, mapping switches, and electric starters than ever before..
