The ProTaper VDS Bar Mounts use a precision-tuned elastomer system to isolate handlebar vibration and improve rider comfort, control, and feel. Designed for motocross, off-road, and enduro riding, the mount system helps reduce forces from harsh impacts and supports stability through rough terrain.

Dual-direction compression and rebound damping absorbs forces in both directions to help reduce rider arm pump. A dedicated rebound spacer provides consistent rebound control, while three interchangeable elastomers allow riders to fine-tune softness, ride, and feel. The system has been tested for vibration reduction across multiple frequencies and includes a fitted bar pad.
