McSkinner Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 I've got a ROX riser coming next week, and I'll be looking for some new bars. I know that the CR bend is real popular, but can anyone tell me why? I haven't ridden every model bike so I don't know the characteristics of each. Any shared knowledge will be greatly appreciated as always. skinner Quote

Any shared knowledge will be greatly appreciated as always. skinner I got the CR lowbend because I liked the lower, wider "stance" on the bars. It will give me more leverage due to the width, and I'll be placed more forward on the bike rather than sitting up right like I'm a 70 year old woman riding a beach cruiser bicycle. Quote
McSkinner Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Posted March 31, 2004 so, are the CR's wider than say the yz bend or the kx or the ktm? and what about the sweep? Or are they all about the same? Or should I just try some and stop asking so many f@$king anoying questiona? Quote
cb67rs1 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 i think its all personal prefernce on how you like to sit when you ride your bike, Quote

Or should I just try some and stop asking so many f@$king anoying questiona? I've only ridden stock, CR high, and CR low. The pull back isn't as much on the CR bars, they are lower, and wider. I just like the feel of it. It feels more natural to me. Quote
H300F Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 i had quad race bend and they werent good for me, they are high and pull back to far, after alittle while i would get cramped up. i put cr hi's on and they are great, put me in a better stance and felt way better. Quote
