Has anyone tried motocross handlebars on an X1? I have been pondering making the switch and was curious if anyone has some feedback, positive or negative...

Thanks!!

I just put some renthals on mine but I've not ridden with yet so I guess this is no help ( but they look awesome)

I replaced my X1 bars with CityX bars. They are more motocross style then the X1 bars but very similar in bend. I am in the middle of replacing them with renthal mini rc fatbars (1 1/8). These are also very similar in bend and most importantly to me, width. I didnt want super wide handlebars.

I put some $16 dirtbike bars on mine but had to chop off the crossbar to avoid interference with the instruments.

I had a ride on an S1 with stock Uly bars on it, and I loved it. I've got the cheapo dirtbike bars on mine right now (complete with cut-off cross-brace) and I like them but would prefer something a little higher.

I love my dirt bars on my M2. Wouldn't put anything else on there.

Bars feel good and make the bike dip in even quicker in corners.
