"12 Bar" question... - Quad / ATV Riders

GYTR_RAPTOR · 02-21-2005, 10:46 PM

i have been riding for a while but am just starting to get into the stunting world. I hear alot of people talking about 12 Bars, and from what i heard they are basically just beefed up grab bars so when you do wheelies, you have a little bit more room for your quad to "cook" so to speak. Can anyone verify this to me. Thanks :YEAH

a "12 bar" is a bar with a plate on the end of it, put on the back so that u can stand ur quad completely straight up and down ina wheelie, and do different "12" tricks

Its not a wheelie bar put there to keep you from goin over too far.

a true 12 bar, won't save u from loopin at all, if u hit it too hard, u'll flip straight over.
