The Fuzion handlebar is a concept in high performance control systems. The revolutionary flex locking system allows riders to choose between a stiffer, more controlled handlebar feel or a softer more shock absorbing feel depending on terrain conditions. Changing the bar from "Locked" to "Unlocked" takes only seconds. The bar itself utilizes ProTaper's exclusive aluminum alloy computer profiled in a 5mm wall design for the ultimate in lightweight strength. Oversize diameter handlebars, without cross bars, were invented, and patented, by ProTaper.
