The EVO Handlebar is ProTaper’s flagship unbraced handlebar. Oversized-diameter handlebars without crossbars were invented and patented by ProTaper in 1991. Without sacrificing strength, this design yields increased flex and impact absorption over conventional handlebars, offering the rider improved comfort and reduced fatigue. Using a premium 7000 series aluminum alloy construction and computer-profiled four millimeter-thick wall design, the EVO Handlebar is up to 25% lighter and 45% stronger than competing handlebars.
