MX bars VS clip ons - Stunt Discussion

dr_erni · 12-17-2003, 02:21 PM

just wanted to know what your opinion is between clip ons and MX bars...

I had my bike converted to MX bars, but I think i'm going back to clip ons for next year.

I heart my freestyle bars

Lb3 · 12-17-2003, 06:27 PM

BOOOOooo on mx bars.

naturalborn · 12-18-2003, 01:10 PM

hey man whatever you feel most comfortable on

KrazyWhiteCoren · 12-18-2003, 01:36 PM

I think MX bars are good dirt bikes. Thew doesn't have a problem rolling 750+ foot stoppies with regular clip ons.

pussycat · 12-18-2003, 06:56 PM

i gotts go with the clip ons .......it makes the sport a litle more true street...

try to highchair circle on a set of clip ons.
my personel opinion is that they are a cheat, but im not dissrespecting anybody that uses them ....ya still need the skill to rock any tricks.

cstmgsxr · 12-18-2003, 06:57 PM

gotta be clip-ons, gotta be true

E-DUB OM · 12-19-2003, 02:35 AM

i like the way clip-ons feel too much to even consider the switch

Kyle_PBZ · 12-19-2003, 02:41 AM

I tried riding Shocker Jaysons 929 with mx setup and it felt WEIRD! I don't think I want to try to get used to it.

Chad OTE · 12-19-2003, 11:02 AM

i rocked mx bars for a few weeks, kinda cool, gotta get use to it though. my spare bike will have them though, just to mix it up

Brett256 · 12-19-2003, 01:03 PM

I grew up on dirtbikes so putting the bars on the ol 929 felt more natural to me...to each his own though!

he has vortex clip ons that are longer and he pushes them flat out so they have more leverage....he just doesn't have the height that the dirtbike bars do.

i ride with stock right now, but my 900rr is streetfighter, still building it though.

CrazyJ · 12-19-2003, 07:05 PM

stock clip ons are my vote ...i have nothing against MX bars ...there just made to be on dirtbikes not streetbikes!

i say who the fuk cares, but who am i to say....

GSE Mike · 12-19-2003, 10:24 PM

RonJon · 12-19-2003, 11:40 PM

Ive got vortecs . . pushed em out and fliped them upside down and still cant roll decent sroppies. Its the rider not the bars. whatever is more comfortable

FiNNiSH StuNNa · 12-20-2003, 03:29 AM

rev-rend Jack · 12-20-2003, 03:39 AM

lsr740seditz · 12-20-2003, 05:33 AM

noone sould care unless its there bike that there on personal opinion i have both.. clipons on my street mx bars on my streetfighter i liek the added height and less aggressive position of the mx bars alot better for stunting but its all a matter of opinion do what only you liek and who cares what everyone else says.. thats my

jay_9se7en3 · 12-20-2003, 12:53 PM

i really didn't think having normal clips really mattered for endos personally. Clips feel more natural to me too, but hey, whatever does it for ya.
