I'matt with Shaper on Motorsports. Check us out at ShaperMotiv. com for all of your riding needs. Today we're going to take a look at a new innovation from ProTaper. This is the Fusion handlebar. Let's check it out. So we have the Fusion mounted on our 2015 YZ450F that Larry Brooks built for us. And basically what this does is allow two bars into one. So it makes it very easy to adjust to the type of terrain that you're riding for that day. So when you have it in the unlocked position, this crossbar is actually going to telescope in and out to allow that flexibility throughout the entire range of your handlebar. So this is going to result in less fatigue and it's also going to absorb a lot of the shock. When you have it in the complete locked position, you get your typical crossbar feel. So you're going to have more rigidity up on the controls and have better feel through the front end of your motorcycle. So essentially what this is the EVO bar with this new device installed on it. And the EVO is their top of the line handlebar. So just a few tech specs on this thing. It's made from a 5mm 2000 series T6 al So it'super strong, very lightweight. It's anodized for the finish. So it's going to be durable. And what's really cool is that they chemically apply their graphics so they're not going to peel away over time, which just adds to the longevity and durability of the bar. And then some few standard features And you have measurements on both ends. So if you want to shorten them, they're going to be the exact on both sides here. You also have plastic end caps to prevent any of the elements from going inside of the bar. Now there'some really small details that make this bar a little bit different and more special, but it's those smaller details that really make the difference. So what we have here is the underside of the bar pad is actually flat. So when it's on the crossbar, when you're sitting at idle, it's not going to want to rotate and spin on you. So this stays where it should be. And you have these indicators on both sides. So that way you get the pad lined up correctly in the proper position and it's leveled. So when you also have the cover on, you're going to be able to match it up perfectly so that the graphics are where they should be. So the guys at ProTaper are really pushing the envelope with the technology that they're putting into their products. And these bars are no exception and are a really good example of that. The Fusion offers top features with the next level engineering. And what's nice about it is that they've got the one and eighth inch bar with a seven eighths taper. So all of your OEM applications fit right on. So to find all of the bends available and to pick the right one for you, go to chapmoto. com to find all the information that you need.
