FAQs
What size handlebars does the Pro Taper 2.0 Square Molded Race Bar Pad fit?
This bar pad is designed to fit Pro Taper Fat Bars, which typically have a 1 1/8" (28.6mm) clamping diameter.
Is this bar pad waterproof?
The bar pad features a closed-cell foam construction which is designed to resist moisture and dirt ingress, helping it maintain its integrity and performance.
How do I clean the bar pad?
You can clean the bar pad using a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and allow it to air dry completely.
Can I use this bar pad on a standard 7/8" handlebar?
No, this bar pad is specifically molded for Fat Bars and will not fit standard 7/8" diameter handlebars.
What is the main benefit of using this bar pad?
The main benefit is enhanced rider safety through impact absorption from the handlebars, along with a customized aesthetic for your bike.
Does the Hi Viz color fade easily?
While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays can affect any color over time. Proper care and storage can help maintain its vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Bar pad feels loose or shifts during riding.
Ensure the bar pad is fully seated on the handlebar and that the mounting straps or system are tightened securely according to the manufacturer's instructions (if applicable, though this model is typically slip-on and secured by friction/fit).
Foam appears to be absorbing water or getting dirty inside.
Check for any tears or damage to the closed-cell exterior. If damage is found, the pad may need replacement to maintain its protective qualities.
Difficulty fitting the bar pad onto the handlebar.
Confirm you have Fat Bars (1 1/8" or 28.6mm). If the fit is very tight, try gently warming the foam with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more pliable, then attempt installation. Do not overheat.
