FAQs

Who is the Pastrana FMX Bend designed for?

The Pastrana FMX Bend is known for being one of the highest bends available, making it particularly suitable for taller riders or those who prefer a more upright riding position for increased comfort and control.

What material are these handlebars made from?

They are constructed from ProTaper's AS20 aerospace aluminum, which provides a high strength-to-weight ratio for durability and performance.

Can I cut these handlebars to a shorter width?

Yes, integrated cutting guides are included on the handlebar ends to allow for precise width adjustments to suit your preferences.

What is the benefit of the knurled clutch side?

The knurled texture on the clutch side provides a more secure mounting surface for your grip, preventing it from rotating and ensuring consistent throttle control.

What is the overall width of the handlebars?

The handlebars have a total width of 800mm, with 200mm on each side dedicated for mounting controls like grips, levers, and throttle assemblies.

Are handlebar clamps included?

No, handlebar clamps are typically sold separately. Ensure you have compatible 1 1/8" clamps for installation.

How do I clean and maintain the handlebars?

Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the graphics. Periodically check mounting hardware for tightness.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel too high or too low.

The Pastrana FMX bend is a specific geometry. If it doesn't suit your comfort, consider handlebar risers or a different Pro Taper bend designed for your preferred posture. If width adjustment is needed, re-measure and cut according to the guides.

Grips are slipping on the clutch side.

Ensure the clutch side knurling is clean and free of grease or oil. Use a strong grip glue or safety wire for maximum security if slipping persists.

Controls do not fit properly on the handlebar.

Confirm that your controls are designed for 1 1/8" diameter handlebars. Ensure no part of the handlebar was deformed during cutting or installation.

Graphics are peeling or scratching easily.

While designed to be resistant, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. If damage occurs, consider aftermarket grip tape or custom graphics.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior leverage and control due to the high FMX bend, ideal for taller riders.
  • Constructed from high-strength, lightweight aerospace aluminum for durability.
  • Resistant graphics ensure a long-lasting, clean appearance.
  • Generous width and control zones allow for comfortable and secure mounting of accessories.
  • Knurled grip area enhances safety and prevents slippage.

Cons

  • The FMX bend may not be suitable for all rider heights or riding styles.
  • Requires precise measurement and cutting if width adjustment is desired.
  • While durable, aluminum handlebars can potentially transmit more vibration than some other materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, ensure your triple clamps are compatible with the handlebar diameter (typically 1 1/8" for Pro Taper Contour bars). If you need to adjust the width, use the integrated cutting guides for precise marking and cutting. Mount your controls (grips, levers, throttle) in the designated 200mm zones. Ensure all components are securely tightened according to manufacturer specifications.

Compatibility: These handlebars are designed for most motocross and enduro motorcycles. Verify that your existing controls and risers are compatible with 1 1/8" diameter handlebars. Dedicated handlebar clamps might be required if your bike uses a different standard.

Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the graphics. Periodically check the tightness of all mounting bolts and handlebar clamps to ensure safety and optimal performance.
