January 10, 200917 yr What are the advantages ? I run a taller set of Hebo fatbars on my 02' Pro so I'm not hunched over the front end, and can get back farther on the rear fender, as with the standard 7/8th bars, but where they really help is on the slow, tight, uphill turns and steps where I would hit my chest on the crossbar pad every time. If I had the tall bars with a crossbar brace, the matter would be even worse than the standard low bars. Jon
January 10, 200917 yr Author It may be a style thing, or lack of, but I cant think of any time when i've hit me chest on the bars.
January 10, 200917 yr I had fat bars on my 04 sherco and because of the clamp i ahd to use they were higher which made it alot more comfier
January 11, 200917 yr I remember going up a relatively small rock face many years ago on an Ossa and my chest hit the kill button. Unfortunatly the kill button was the kind that locked on. So I rolled to a stop in the middle of the section. Learned a good lesson there.
