slowrider Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Curious if trials bikes use a different handle bar than say an MX bike? Are they taller or the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balance Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I think the main difference is trials bars are straighter. You do see mx type bars on trials bike and to me they look a bit odd, but I suppose it's personal preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every dimension is somewhat different for a reason. The shorter the better. Check Renthal as they are about the only one`s that post all dimensions. Best bar to buy hands down.

sherpa325 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Standard Bultaco rise is 5 1/2" some people use a 6" . I prefer the lower bars, but it's personal preference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourex Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) This is pretty cool from the Renthal website, a comparison tool for bars, you can clearly see all the differences between the two bars you select. https://www.renthal.com/worksfit/ Edited November 12, 2022 by fourex grammar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrider Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Noticed most of the handle bars available are fat in the middle and wont fit my old style clamps Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just searched your previous posts and see you're possibly looking for bars for a Sherpa T, you need to look at 7/8" (22.2mm) bars for these older bikes that have standard top triple clamp. Many different brands out there and they're all good as far as I'm concerned but, if you're looking at the Renthal website then look for 7/8" Trials bars, 742(4.5"), 660(5.0"), 735(5.5"), 768(6.0"). They all come with a cross brace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
