Best Set of Bars/Best Bend
I am sure this has been hashed out prior but I could find anything in a quick search. I am partial to the Pro Taper bars I had stock on my 06 YZ250f, never seemed like I bent them. Tweaked my stockers from my 2011 in a season, but if you have ever rode with me you would know that I am anything but a light/soft rider. If there is a line that looks ok but there is a tree I may hit, chances are I will bounce off/smash it. So I am up for any suggestions bend or brand. I personally like a little flex but mainly looking for an indestuctible bar.

Flexx bars are about as tough as they get.

I personally like the KTM sx bend, I swap over to these bars on every bike I ride, not much sweep.

I really liked the tapered bar on the 2010s and (std) 2011s, although it was a little low for my taste. Nice bend though. The Twinwall bend isn't bad if you can live with the height and stiffness (see above).

I'm with Cruiser, KTM SX bend for me. Low with very little sweep. The Hebo bars that came on my '07 are very close to the SX bend. I think I'm going with the Flexx bars for my '12 in the 10 deg sweep enduro bend. I hate tall bars so if I have to swap out the '12 Twinwalls might as well go all out.

I just put a set of Twinwalls on my '10 Ec300 with some 30mm riser blocks. Honda High bend, might be a tad tall. Took some hard spills on rocks last weekend, seem to twist the forks in the clamps a little, but the twinwalls seem straight.

I would love a set of flexx bars, but cost is one of those factors... Has anyone had any experience with the Woods Bend Contour Pro Tapers?

Really depends on what you like as far as sweep. I find all the Honda CR bends and clones like the woods/enduro bars have way too much sweep for me and bother my wrists, especially with the bars rotated foward past the fork center. I like very little sweep, but everyone is different. Find the specs on the bend you like and see what compares.

If you like a low sweep bar then try the TrailTech X Bars.
