ProTaper Motorcycle Parts & Clothing

ProTaper products can be rightfully regarded as the industry standard for off-road motorcycle controls. Before the company burst into the market with its revolutionary 1⅛" handlebar back in 1991, there had essentially been the sole setup in the dirt bike world: a 7/8” handlebar with a crossbar for added rigidity. The oversized ProTaper handlebars that didn’t feature crossbars have really changed the game. This design did a good job absorbing impact for reduced rider fatigue while allowing flex. The fact that Damon Bradshaw, a championship-winning racer, refused to ride with other setups after he tested ProTaper’s prototype handlebar in 1991 speaks for itself.

The company, however, didn’t rest on the success of this invention. More breakthrough designs followed, including the Micro Handlebar Kit. It is specifically designed for youth riders allowing for a more comfortable grip on the handlebars. Pro Taper grips are the go-to choice for pro racers, simply because they allow the rider to stay in full control with less fatigue. They are made from vibration-reducing materials and maximize grip, and some designs are a breeze to install thanks to smart clamp-on systems. Pro Taper handguards take hand comfort to the next level providing a barrier against roost, mud, and flying debris.

Whether it be ProTaper sprockets, levers, or anything in between, these are the products that dirt bike riders in many parts of the world rely on. The company’s customer base includes many types of riders starting with weekend warriors who are picky about their control setups and ending with racers who perform at the highest levels of competition. Racing remains inseparable from the ProTaper brand, primarily because it’s a fair testing environment for its parts and accessories. It takes a lightweight, strong, and durable product to endure the grind of racing. So with any of the ProTaper products, you can have the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are good enough for top race teams.
