ProTaper Contour Pastrana FMX Handlebar - Gold - 020353

The ProTaper Contour Pastrana FMX Handlebar in Gold (Part # 020353) is a purpose-built motocross and freestyle handlebar engineered for riders who demand durability, precise control, and that signature Pastrana FMX bend geometry. Crafted from ProTaper's proprietary 5 mm, 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy, this bar delivers an exceptional balance of tensile strength, impact resistance, and the slight flex needed to absorb hard landings — making it equally at home on the track or in the foam pit. Whether you're upgrading from a stock bend or dialing in your cockpit for FMX-style riding, the Contour series represents ProTaper's most accessible high-performance handlebar, and the bold gold anodized finish sets it apart visually on any build.

Key Features & Benefits

• Proprietary 2000 Series T6 Aluminum Alloy (5 mm wall): This material spec gives the Contour bar its winning combination of superior tensile strength, yield strength, and impact-absorbing flex — so the bar resists fatigue over long sessions while still cushioning vibration feedback to your hands.
• Pastrana FMX Bend Geometry: The Pastrana FMX bend is designed for riders who prefer a taller, more upright riding position often associated with freestyle motocross technique, providing leverage and comfort during big-air maneuvers and trail riding alike.
• High-Tech Shot Peened, Stress Relieved & Anodized Finish: The shot-peening and stress-relief process strengthens the bar's surface and extends its service life, while the anodized gold finish adds corrosion resistance and visual distinction.
• Clutch-Side Knurling for Maximum Grip Adhesion: The knurled texture on the clutch side of the bar locks your grip in place so it won't spin or walk, even under heavy throttle or in wet conditions.
• Chemically Applied, Scratch- & Peel-Resistant Graphics: Unlike sticker-based markings, the chemically bonded graphics stay sharp through washes, crashes, and UV exposure.
• 1/4 in. Cut Guides for Precise Modification: Clearly marked cut guides let you trim the bar width with confidence and symmetry if your setup requires a narrower bar.
• Plastic Bar End Plugs Included: Keeps moisture and debris out of the bar ends and provides a more secure base for grip installation — a small detail that matters over time.
• Lightweight at Just 1.55 lbs. (720 g) Without Pad: At under a pound and a half, the Contour bar keeps unsprung and rotating mass low without compromising structural integrity.
• Includes Crossbar Pad: The bar ships with a matching crossbar pad, delivering genuine value in a single package without the need for a separate pad purchase.

Fitment

The ProTaper Contour Pastrana FMX Handlebar is a universal-fit bar designed for motocross, enduro, trail, and freestyle motorcycles equipped with standard 1-1/8 in. triple clamps. Because the Contour line is also available in a 7/8 in. diameter, be sure to confirm your clamp diameter before ordering — the 020353 is the 1-1/8 in. version. Riders fitting this bar to bikes with OEM 7/8 in. clamps will require appropriate bar adapters (as noted in real-world rider experience). ProTaper offers a wide range of bend options in the Contour series for different riding styles; this listing is specifically the Pastrana FMX bend, which differs from CR Mid, KX High, Woods, YZ High, and other bends in the lineup. If you're unsure which bend suits your riding position, contact ThreePiece.us for fitment guidance before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What bar diameter is the ProTaper 020353, and will it fit my stock clamps?
A: The 020353 is a 1-1/8 in. diameter handlebar. If your motorcycle came equipped with 7/8 in. OEM clamps, you will need bar adapters or aftermarket 1-1/8 in. clamps to install this bar. Riders on platforms like the DRZ400 have noted this in real-world use, so verify your clamp diameter before ordering.

Q: Does the bar come with a crossbar pad?
A: Yes. The ProTaper Contour Pastrana FMX Handlebar ships with a crossbar pad included, as well as plastic bar end plugs. You do not need to purchase a pad separately.

Q: How does the Pastrana FMX bend differ from other Contour bends like CR Mid or KX High?
A: ProTaper offers the Contour bar in numerous bend profiles — including CR Mid, KX High, Woods High, YZ High, Carmichael, and others — each designed for different rider heights, bike geometry, and riding disciplines. The Pastrana FMX bend is tailored toward the taller, more upright bar position favored in freestyle motocross. If you're switching from a stock or CR Mid bend, the Pastrana FMX will typically feel higher and more forward. For personalized bend advice based on your height and bike, reach out to our fitment team.

Q: Can I cut this bar down to a narrower width?
A: Yes. The Contour bar features 1/4 in. cut guides machined into the bar ends, allowing you to trim the bar to your preferred width with precision and symmetry.
