Motocross/Dirt Bike Handlebars & Controls

"The handlebar of your motocross or dirt bike plays a crucial role in providing you with the ability to control your machine. It is connected to the front wheel and the frame through the triple clamp or triple tree and accommodates throttle control, clutch and brake levers, switches, and various accessories, such as mirrors, hand guards, safety pads, regular or heated grips, handlebar pouches, and so on. The shape and size of your handlebar must suit your height, riding style, and preferred sitting position. If you don’t feel comfortable while sitting on your bike, it is time to replace your handlebar.

When choosing a new handlebar for your motocross or dirt bike, make sure that it is lightweight but strong enough to withstand the rigors of off-road riding that often involve high jumps and hard contacts with rocks, logs, roots, and so on. The majority of aftermarket dirt bike handlebars are made from strong, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy that also offers a certain level of flexibility to partially absorb the energy of impacts from hard landings. For those who prefer a more lean-forward riding position, we can offer a range of clip-on bars designed to be attached directly to fork tubes over or under the top triple clamp.

Note that when installing an aftermarket handlebar of a different size or shape, you may require to fit longer or shorter clutch, throttle, and brake cables and lines to ensure unobstructed turning radius and avoid their slacking or tightening. We offer a huge assortment of cables, guides, clamps, and brackets, cable boots, hangers, holders, fittings, rubber sleeves, and much more. If your brake or clutch levers were bent or broken after a fall, they will require replacement. Also, you may want to replace your stock levers with their aftermarket counterparts that feature a bright-colored powder-coated finish to match the color of the frame or your riding gear.

The same goes for aftermarket triple trees or yokes, which can also change the steering dynamics of your motorcycle. The rake and trail parameters of your bike depend on the shape and geometry of the triple tree and the way it attaches your fork tubes to the frame. If you don’t know which type of the triple clamp is more suitable for your application and riding style, you can always contact our help center where our trained specialists will gladly help you in choosing the right products. Besides high-quality yokes, we offer durable and reliable bar mounts, steering stem nuts and bolts, elastomers, handlebar risers, and much more.

During motocross events or aggressive riding on rough terrain, the firmer your grip, the safer and more confident you feel. That is why it is vital to choose only high-quality, ergonomic grips that can make sure that your handlebar will not slip from your hands, effectively smooth out vibration and shocks, and provide you with maximum enjoyment from the ride. Depending on your personal preferences, you can choose grips made from harder or softer rubber. Note that grips made from hard rubber and featuring knurled surface pattern for better traction can cause accelerated wear of your gloves."
