About the original
The ProTaper SE Handlebar is a 7/8-inch motocross bar made from 2000-series T6 aluminum alloy, with a cold-forged aluminum crossbar, CNC-machined 6061 aluminum crossbar clamps, clutch-side knurling, and a crossbar pad; it weighs 1.8 pounds (820 g) without the pad. ProTaper, a California handlebar maker since the early 1990s, built its name on the oversized 28.6 mm Taperwall bar, and the SE ("Seven Eighths") is its standard-diameter line for triple clamps that take a 7/8-inch bar. ProTaper lists the SE at $84.99 in five colors and more than 20 bends. The FW26 Supreme version uses the SX Race bend in two colorways with a Supreme bar pad and laser-etched logos; Supreme lists 4 mm alloy where ProTaper states 5 mm.
