I went and spent the 85$ on a "Banshee Bend" Renthal aluminum bar and it didn't fit. The upward bend for the bars would have been inside the bar clamp and thats not good.

So now I'm hesitant to buy another Renthal before knowing whether it will fit inside 200X/350X handlebar clamps.

I'm looking for a tall aluminum handlbar, like the Moose bars but they aren't aluminum. I really like Renthal.

What are you guys running? Any input would be great, thanks!

I know you said you want aluminum but i have the moose bars on my 250r and I like them alot. They are tall which is good because i am 6'3. Just my opinion. Sorry i dont know which renthals will fit.

400EX bend will fit perfectly. We run them on all our bikes.

Thanks Derrick, are they a tall bar?

Could you give me a rough measurement of the height?

EDIT - DK says it's 5.7" tall, they list the TRX250R bar as 6.4" tall but I wonder if the bend clears the bar clamps like the problem I had last time.... Anyone running TRX bars on an ATC??

The set on my 86 350X has 787 printed on them, is that just a standard 7/8 diameter aluminum bar?

NO! The 400ex bars do not fit correctly. They start to bend upward before the
clamp area on a trike. This is a real problem with metal fatigue if used this way.
Good luck finding an aluminum bar that fits. Bob

Is that a bolt on 7/8 bar?? How tall are they.

I'm gonna be very disappointed if the 400EX bars don't fit. DA said they would fit fine and I ordered a set Friday....This will be the second farking bar I can't use!!!!!!

For a 200X or 350X it must have about 6.375 inches before any bends begin or it will sit in the handlebar clamp. Maybe a 250R has the bar clamps set inwards a bit more, could someone PLEASE measure the distance from the outside of the bar clamps on a 250R??

WTF is so hard about finding a tall aluminum bar for a 200X/350X/250R?? The only set I can find is the MSR that I run on my SX's. There great but at 40$ a pop they can't be as strong as a Renthal.

I JUST WANT A RENTHAL THAT FITS AND IS HIGH!!!:mad: :mad:

The Renthal set I had on a 350X must be a dirtbike bar....

Here is a picture on the Renthals on a 350X that I cannot identify what type they are. I would buy another pair but I don't know what they are. Again, I need 6.375 inches before the bends begin.

The other picture is the MSR bar on my 85 250SX, they fit but bend easy.

I tried the 400ex bars a few years ago. They DON'T fit! I gave up. Maybe Renthal will custom make us some if enough guys want them. Bob

Curious what brand of 400EX bars you had. We run Pro-Tapers.

Then that would be the difference. I was asking about Renthals and which bend would fit.....


Thanks for trying to help anyhow.

Renthal ATV Racer bend bars will fit. I have them on my 350X.

The Renthals will fit just fine. You have to be really careful to get them centered, and if you're as picky as Bob seems to be you can take a round file and knock down the corners on the clamp caps so they fit absolutely perfectly.

Bob is somewhat correct, when you bolt them on the upward bend doesn't fit into the upper clamps 100% flat but its so minimal its not really noticeable. And as far as metal fatigue goes, in my opinion its not that big of a deal. My 250r has cartwheeled down many a coal hill with out me, landing on the Renthal 400ex bend bars hard and repeatedly with no bends, twisted, or any indication of damage, then I hit the mx track and they're solid as ever.

The slight almost unnoticeable fitment issue really isn't an issue. Center those bars and clamp em down tight. If you're picky take a round file and knock the outside corner off the clamp caps. Then they'll fit perfect.

I run Renthal 400ex bend on all my bikes. Just my $.02

I've got the CR high bend on the 500R, and the flat tracker and all fit within the wide clamping area of the top triple tree. Their actually not that low either.

i have cr-hi bend on my 200x, its not very tall but feels good, 400ex bend it just littler higher with little more pull back. atv bends are like 5" or more in hight and can get very high.

I just put the 400ex bars on my r and they fit good and look awsome.

I'm in Derrick's corner. The Pro Taper 400ex bend bars fit perfectly and IMO are a better set of bars. I actually ditched my Renthals for the Pro Tapers and I am way more satisfied.
