Default Which bars?

I am planning on getting me a new set of bars here before to long. I have a 7/8ths stock clamp right now on the EX. I have pondered the idea to go with a fat bar, but not to sure yet. I was wondering who has what and how you like them. I have a set of Renthal CR bars on now andreally like them. "But" they seem to have some flex in them I don't really like. I am looking for a bar that is solid and not to wide. I like having a narrow bar so when I am cornering, I don't have to have 5 foot arms Any help is great

Ya know, I really do like the Flexx bars. But they don't really come narrow enough. I guess I could get some and cut the ends down Don't think they would last then. I would need the harder rubber insert cause I like to land hard... guess I need to learn not to do that. Heck, right now it wouldnt matter none, I cant get back in the groove and be fast

I have renthal twinwall bars on my yz and I love them. There the yz bend which is kind of in the middle of height, width and pullback. I havent been able to flex them at all. I'm still waiting on the triple clamp so I can run them at stock height but for now I have the universal bar clamps that raise the bars up about 3/4 of an inch, I suppose that wouldnt be bad since your riding a quad.

I run the same bars as you are TRX and I actually like a bar that flexes. It seems to help fatigue and numbness. I like my bars to be long as well on a quad because the leverage seems to comes in handy. I rode with the Flex bars a few time and I love them but like Kenyz I am not any help to you.

I run Pro Taper SE's. They are 5mm all the way to the end. They don't flex. I've never bent them in a crash, they are marked on the ends if you want to cut them down.
