RFX Pro Series F8 Taper Bars are designed and tested to the highest standards.
The F8 Taper Bars are made from 7075-T6 aluminium and feature Oversized Tapered Extension (OTE) to provide ultimate strength and shock resistance, while Flex Technology (EFT) and Progressive Damping Control (PDC) provide just the right amount of flex and reduce machine vibration to help combat rider fatigue.
The F8 Taper Bars design also includes a crossbar, which gives a slightly firmer feel to the handlebars than the F7 design and is the preferred choice of some expert and professional riders.
The OTE is a lengthening of the oversized central section (28.6 mm). Increasing the oversized section so that it extends beyond the last bend in the handlebar adds significant strength to the weakest part of any handlebar, combined with a 5mm wall thickness that remains constant even outside the bends, making the F8 Taper Bar one of the lightest and strongest handlebars on the market.
The EFT is designed to give the handlebars a little flex. Careful selection of a 5mm inner wall thickness in the rise and taper area of the handlebar helps to reduce the effects of hard impacts while giving the rider maximum forward feel when cornering. F8 handlebars feel slightly firmer than F7 thanks to the integrated crossbar.
The PDC is created using a greater wall thickness of 5.3 mm in the handlebar grip area, which has been calculated to balance and attenuate the effects of handlebar vibration. It's similar in principle to the handlebar weights used in sports bikes, but is specifically designed and tested to suit the range of vibrations produced by modern high-performance motocross bikes.
