Fasst Flex handlebars???

[dirtjunkie85]

Hey guys I ride a 2008 KFX450R and do a little desert racing however can seem to to keep the arm pump away, I was looking at getting some Fasst Flex handlebars thinking they might help has anyone tried them and do they really help?

I plan on getting a set of those myself, not so much for the arm pump, but sometimes when you land a jump imperfectly, your wrists take quite a shock, I am hoping the flexx bars will help. Another thing I would highly recommend is a good steering stabilizer. I put a Precision Racing Pro series stabilizer on my LT-R, and not for one second have I regreted spending the $500 on that thing, helps tremendously.

One of my desert racing partners has them, he told me that he doesn't think there was a big enough difference to justify spending $300 on a set of bars. He did not notice any real changes in how his arms felt at the end of the day.

Thanks for the info I will keep looking into these if anyone else has any info please let me know.

I have heard that these work just as well if not better than the flexbars, and they cost less. The bars more or less float on these clamps. Alot of racers are using them in favor of anti vibe bars or stems. I am also going to be getting a set for myself in the near future.

Thanks at 230.00 for a set of clamps i would hope they would work good but i think i would just pay a little more and get the bars.

The clamps are supposed to work better than the bars, alot of pro racers have switched to the precision bar clamps in favor of the flexx bars. If you look at the way they work, the bars flex, and change your hand angle every time they move. Withe the clamp, the bars float straight up and down, they actually move quite a bit, making them very effective at soaking up impacts from rough landings and rough riding. When the quad bumps up and down, the bars stay still, the quad more or less just floats unerneath the bars, so it isn't sending all the shock to your arms. I would buy the clamps over the bars hands down.

This has been a subject I have been wondering about.
