I ran the four play bars on my kawi and i hated them. Pushing down on them felt good but if you lift up on the bar at all while riding it just flops around unless the adjustment screw is all the way tight so they dont move at all but that defeats the purpose. I just prefer a solid bar i guess. Have a few buddies that run the flexx bars and they have no complaints. And when i rode my buddys with the flexx bars i liked them alot compared to the four play bars. But i still prefer renthal or protaper solid bars.

Didn't Flexx file a lawsuit against ATV Fourplay for patent violation?

I hate flex bars they feel clunky to me plus they are kinda heavy , ill stick with fat bars and Precision bar mounts with a aint vibe steering stem.

I just purchased my Flexx bars and I'm really impressed with them. Put odi clamp on grips on and they feel reallly good. Plus the guys at Flexx are really nice. They sent me a free yellow bar pad over a very small problem I had with shipping. You can send them an email on their website about the type of riding you do, how much you weigh nada nada nada and they will email you back about which style Flexx bars they think will feel best for you. They set me up with 15 degree quadracer low bends.

The good thing about Flexx bars are is that you can customize how you want them to feel for your type of riding and weight, they come with Elastomers which are what allows the bars to bend, you get black (stiff) red (hard) yellow (medium) and blue (soft) I weigh 150 and race both mx and xc and i'm running blue elastomers on the outside and red elastomers on the inside and it feels really great.

I can't say anything about ATV Fourplays i'm sure they're a great product just like anything else made by Fourplay but I can say that Flexx bars are an awesome product and would highly recommend them to you.

I have flex bars and they feel fine to me. Not a big difference from solid bars exept when you land real hard it doesnt jar through your wrist.

I have always had Flexx bars. I love them but one set that i had stiffened up and really don't move even with the softess settings. So I was told you need to pop out the pins and clean them. That was after three years of having them. I have another set so I never poped the pins yet. I heard it's a pain though.
