    well from my experiences on dirtbikes renthals SUCK they bend easy but u cant straighten them out perty easly my 350 has renthals and they havnt bent yet i like the bend that they have but i havent had it upside down yet
    on my dirtbikes i will use PRO TAPERS forever i havent been able to bend the ones i got on there and ive had some realy bad falls i
    if i ever buy bars now they will be pro tapers people have told me that FLY makes some strong bars but ive never used them

    PRO TAPERS: strong as he||

    I'd hardly say renthals are weak but there are a lot stronger out there. You get what you pay for. Renthals are a nice bar for the price. I prefer TAG T2 bars myself.

    I've tweaked the Renthal's on my KDX200 pretty good a couple times. Their not bad bars, way better then any stock bar.

    Renthals

    I have Renthals on my 250R. So far Im pretty happy with them. I have bent them a few times rolling down hills, I just put a pipe over 'em and bend 'em back. So far they show no signs of cracking. I think they help with vibration alot too, I dont notice much vibration in them even on long rides. I think the ProGrip gel grips I have on it help alot there too. Im planning to buy another pair of Renthals, this time a little higher, the ones I have are a little low.
