ProTaper EVO Henry/Reed Handlebar - Black - 022036 - PTR022036

The ProTaper EVO Henry/Reed Handlebar in Black (MPN: 022036) is ProTaper's flagship unbraced motocross and off-road handlebar, built around the popular Henry/Reed bend profile. Designed for riders who demand the best balance between flex, fatigue life, and outright strength, the EVO is engineered to reduce arm pump and hand fatigue on the roughest tracks and trails — without compromising durability. Whether you're chasing lap times on a supercross circuit or putting in hard miles on the trail, this bar is a proven choice among competitive riders and serious enthusiasts alike.

Key Features & Benefits

• 7000 Series Aluminum Alloy Construction: ProTaper uses a proprietary 7000 series aluminum alloy — the same grade trusted in aerospace applications — delivering superior tensile and yield strength compared to common 6000 series bars.
• Computer-Profiled 4mm Thick Wall Design: The precision-engineered wall thickness gives the EVO up to 25% lighter weight and up to 45% greater strength than competing handlebars, according to ProTaper's published specs.
• Best-in-Class Fatigue Life: Independent lab tests show the ProTaper EVO outlasts every other handlebar on the market in fatigue life — a critical spec for riders who log serious seat time.
• Increased Flex & Impact Absorption: The unbraced EVO design yields more flex than traditional braced bars, absorbing impacts and reducing vibration transmitted to your hands and arms — directly translating to less fatigue over a long moto or trail ride.
• High-Tech Surface Finishing: Shot-peened, stress-relieved, and anodized for exceptional surface durability and long-term resistance to wear and corrosion.
• Epoxy Inner Coating: An internal epoxy coating adds another layer of corrosion protection from the inside out — important for riders in wet or muddy conditions.
• Clutch-Side Knurling: Textured knurling on the clutch side provides maximum grip traction for your controls, keeping levers and clamps secure under hard use.
• Chemically Applied, Scratch-and-Peel-Resistant Graphics: The bend name and spec markings are chemically bonded — they won't peel, fade, or scratch off during normal use or handlebar swaps.
• Plastic Bar End Plugs Included: Pre-installed plugs keep dirt and moisture out of the hollow bar ends and provide a solid base for grip installation.
• 1-1/8" (Oversized) Diameter: The standard oversized taper diameter is compatible with the widest range of aftermarket clamps, controls, and bar pads on the market today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What bend is the ProTaper EVO 022036?
A: This is the Henry/Reed bend — a popular choice among supercross and motocross racers for its moderate rise and sweep profile. The specs are: 800mm width, 92mm height, 66mm rise, and 57mm sweep.

Q: Does this bar fit my bike's stock clamps?
A: The EVO 022036 is a 1-1/8" (oversized) diameter handlebar. Most modern motocross and off-road bikes from major manufacturers (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, Husqvarna, etc.) come equipped with oversized clamps from the factory. However, if your bike has stock 7/8" bar clamps, you will need to upgrade to oversized clamps. When in doubt, contact our fitment team before ordering.

Q: Is a crossbar pad included?
A: No. The ProTaper EVO 022036 does not include a crossbar pad. If you want pad protection, it needs to be purchased separately. ProTaper and other brands offer compatible crossbar pads for this bar.

Q: How does the EVO differ from a standard aluminum handlebar?
A: The EVO's key advantage is its proprietary 7000 series aluminum alloy and computer-profiled 4mm wall design. According to ProTaper, this results in a bar that is up to 25% lighter and up to 45% stronger than competing bars, while the unbraced design provides more flex and impact absorption than traditional braced handlebars — reducing rider fatigue without sacrificing strength or fatigue life.
