Product Information
Full details
The Pro Taper Round 8" Race Bar Pad in Blue is designed for motocross and enduro riders who require reliable handlebar protection without sacrificing a sleek, race-ready aesthetic. This premium pad provides essential chest and head protection during high-impact riding by utilizing high-density, closed-cell foam technology that effectively absorbs energy. While it offers excellent durability and an improved fit, riders should note that it is specifically optimized for braced handlebars, such as the Pro Taper SE, and may not provide a secure fit on non-braced or non-standard handlebar configurations.

FAQs
Will this fit a standard non-braced handlebar?
No, this pad is designed specifically for braced handlebars.
How do I clean the bar pad?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the outer cover after each ride.
Is the foam replaceable?
The foam is integrated into the design to maintain its density and protection level; it is not intended to be swapped out.
Does this provide protection against impacts?
Yes, the high-density, closed-cell foam is designed specifically to absorb energy during impacts.
What is the length of this bar pad?

Troubleshooting
Pad rotates during riding
Ensure the crossbar brace is clean and free of grease, then tighten the securing straps to ensure a snug fit.
Pad does not fit the handlebar
Verify that your handlebars include a crossbar brace; this pad is not designed for 'fat bars' that lack a center brace.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent impact protection for the rider
- High-density foam retains its shape after repeated use

Cons
- Not compatible with non-braced handlebars

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the flexible, wrap-around design of the cover. To install, simply align the pad with the crossbar brace and secure the Velcro or fastening mechanism until the foam sits snugly against the hardware. Ensure the pad is centered on the brace to maximize protection coverage.
Compatibility: This model is specifically sized for 8-inch braced bars. Please verify your handlebar width before installation.
Care: The durable outer cover is weather-resistant, but it should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth or mild soap and water to remove dirt and mud buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the cover material or fade the blue finish.
