The ride characteristics of ProTaper carbon create a more in-tune steering connection, maximizing the benefit of the ProTaper concept – reduced trail buzz, sharpened steering, and an unmatched strength-to-weight.

From day one, we have never stopped pushing the limits of metallurgy and FEA. While the all new ProTaper MTB aluminum bars have evolved over the years, one thing has remained the same: our original ProTaper concept remains.

On the surface, a stem may look simple, but under that beautiful veneer lies hours of 3D modelling, countless FEA revisions, and tons of real-world ride testing. We do all of this to make sure we have a light, stiff stem that can handle tremendous forces from every conceivable angle.

A perfect foot platform requires precision engineering and attention to the small details – platform size, thickness, pin placement, and quality materials. Years of engineering motocross and mountain bike foot platforms have resulted in ProTaper pedals – the ultimate rider's pedal.
