For those that know it’s a no-brainer, for those that don’t you have just educated them as well as improved their understanding of fine tuning….albeit only the bars in this video but seriously important, your mention of not being comfortable with a 5mm change required for your optimal position should ring a bell for a lot of people… great video, thank you for your efforts!

I'm super anal about everything control wise. When the setup is off even a little like you said, it can make your ride sub par. I spend literally hours at a time tweaking all the control positions when I set up a bike initially, or if your like me constantly modifying with aftermarket goodies!

[@MxstoreAustralia]

That's a great way to be! The aftermarket additions are the best part! 💪🏼

Interesting. I have a gasgas mc450f and i went with the KTM high bend since the bike sits a little bit lower. They feel fine but i wonder if the lows would be better for racing after watching this..

[@MxstoreAustralia]

Definitely give it a go, it does come down to personal preference but you might find you prefer this!

I recently wrecked on my 2001 KX250 and destroyed my OEM bars. I have no experience riding other bikes or other bars, so I am unsure of what bend is appropriate. The OEM bars felt good to me. What bar bend is closest to the OEM bend for that bike? Thank you very much in advance for any advice. Subbed and thumb up!

Check out the Renthal site as they have great comparison tools to compare with your OEM bars. We would recommend the 971 RC bend being the closest fit for your bike! 👌🏼

Well this wasn't helpful, doesn't really show the different bar bends.
