i want to get new handle bars. Cant decide on bars,
Pro Taper Evo bars or the TAG ones? Is the protaper top clamp worth it or just go with universal ones that fit the stock clamps?
What Handlebars?

Both are excellent bars, so I honestly don't believe you're choosing between night and day.
In terms of triple clamps, specifically, what PT clamp are you looking at and what are you hoping it will do for you?

Pro Taper for shor. I love em. But i dont have the Evos, i got the seven eights right now

There seems to be QC problems with the Tag bars. I've seen quite a few break in crashes where they shouldn't have even bent. Between those two, I'd go Pro Taper without hesitation.

i ride mostly woods and im about 5 8ish..any suggestions on bends for the PTs? and how much am i missing out on if i go with the universal clamps over the pro taper top clamp set?

i have Tag T2's on my kx. they are a reasonably high rise bar compared to the stock renthals, but i feel that they open up the bike a little more. feel like they give me more room to move.
