Installed these last weekend and just now got a chance to test ride.
Mother of god. Anyone still on the stock icon bars, you owe it to yourself to change the bars.
The huge wide bars may be cool on a mountain bike but they make the scrambler feel so awkward. The new bars bring your cg slightly forward and confidence and responsiveness feel notably improved.
I picked the mediums based on my fear of the “ultra low” being too low and causing issues with the brake line/speedo and the “low” having too much sweep for my taste. I’d love a little less sweep on the mediums... I may be on the lookout for something else but this gets me 90% stoked and is vastly better than the stock bar. We’ll see how a longer ride feels, I’ll report back in a week or so.
For 62 bucks I’m a happy dude today and I wish I did this sooner!
Sorry for the pics not being more demonstrative of the difference here I should have measured before and after.
