    Hi Guys,

    Wondering if anyone out there has tried these: http://www.fasstco.com/shop/flexx-handlebars-atv

    I used to have a Girvin flex stem on my mountain bike before the days of big suspension and it was fantastic.

    Probably different dynamics on a dirtbike but I'd be curious to try them out. At $350 it's a bit much to gamble.

    I would be using them primarily for enduro & harescramble events and practice.

    Cheers, Jeremy

    they are awesome you will love them .. I searched within Canada kijiji for mine ... money is tight full retail is a lot to swallow buy used ... easy to rebuild and the rebuild kit is cheap .. $20 -$25

    I did a quick search on kijij found a pair used pair in Alberta .. check to see if its the right bend first ..

    if that falls through I would just search over the depressing winter months for a good used pair some will pop up somewhere ...like i said rebuild kit is easy and cheap and they will be like new after that ..

    Used them on a couple of different bikes. They were great.

    I bought mine used of ebay and used just swapped them to different bikes until I finally sold them. They take a lot of the jarring hits off your wrists/arms and I never even noticed they were moving, there is no "sloppy" feel to them at all.

    Highly recommend if you can swallow the cost.

    $350 would be cheap for new ones. I paid around 600 with the bark buster mount.

    I just let a set go with my old bike a week ago. Too bad I would have sold them to you cheap. I think the guy who bought my bike was going to take them off.

    Thanks guys. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a used set. I'll check into the Alberta set.

    Was the weight noticeable? Any loss of control feeling (sloppy?)
