Pro Taper SE Series 7/8 in Standard Handlebars - CR High/Jet Black

Our review of the Pro Taper SE Series 7/8 in Standard Handlebars finds them best suited to riders who want a durable, well-shaped replacement bar that balances comfort with control. The single biggest reason to buy is the proven SE design: it represents the state of the art in 7/8 in handlebar geometry and construction, delivering a familiar feel while upgrading fit and finish. Riders who value a sturdy, attractive bar that installs quickly will appreciate these, while those needing ultra-specialized bends should verify fit before changing from stock.

Key Features

• SE 7/8 in design: The Seven Eighths Handlebar offers modern geometry that improves rider ergonomics and control for a wide range of riding styles.
• CR high bend option: The CR high bend provides a taller hand position that many riders find more comfortable on longer rides and technical sections.
• Standard 7/8 in diameter: Fits common controls and grips without extra modification, making installation straightforward for most bikes.
• Durable finish: The jet black coating resists wear and gives the bar a clean, factory look that holds up under regular use.
• Easy installation: Customers report the bars install quickly and deliver a secure, confident feel once mounted.

Who It's For

The Pro Taper SE Series 7/8 in Standard Handlebars are aimed at riders replacing stock bars who want a reliable, well-shaped upgrade without hunting for custom bends. They suit motocross, trail and general off-road riders who prefer a taller CR high bend and a sturdy feel from a known handlebar design.

Riders who need an uncommon or highly specific bend profile, or those changing from a very different diameter, should measure and compare before buying. Those seeking chrome or polished finishes rather than jet black should also look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
