RFX F8 STEWART Universal Handlebars - BlackRef : RFX0012 / 1110696001

The RFX Pro F8 series tapered handlebars are designed and tested for use at the highest level.

The F8 tapered handlebars are made from 7075-T6 aluminium and feature an oversized tapered extension (OTE) that provides optimal strength and shock resistance, while the Engineered Flex Technology (EFT) and Progressive Damping Control (PDC) ensure optimal flexibility and reduce machine vibrations to combat rider fatigue.

The design of the F8 tapered handlebars also includes an integrated crossbar, which gives a slightly firmer feel compared to the F7 design and is the preferred choice of some expert and professional riders.

The OTE is an extension of the oversized central section (28.6 mm). The increase in the oversized section beyond the last bend of the handlebar adds significant strength to the weakest part of any handlebar. Coupled with a wall thickness of 5 mm that remains constant even outside the bends, the F8 tapered handlebars are among the lightest and strongest on the market.

The EFT is designed to provide some flexibility in the handlebars. The careful selection of an internal wall thickness of 5 mm in the lift and taper areas of the handlebars helps to reduce the effects of jolts during significant impacts while providing the rider with maximum feel of the front end in corners. The F8 handlebars have a slightly firmer feel than the F7 due to the incorporated crossbar.

The PDC is created using a thicker wall of 5.3 mm in the handlebar grip area, which has been calculated to balance and dampen the effects of handlebar vibrations. This principle is similar to handlebar weights used in sport bikes, but it is specifically designed and tested to accommodate the range of vibrations produced by modern high-performance 4-stroke motocross bikes.
