Pro Taper Issues Voluntary Handlebar Recall

Pro Taper has issued a voluntary recall affecting approximately 4,200 EVO handlebar units manufactured between March and August 2025. The recall stems from a potential heat treatment inconsistency identified during quality analysis after three warranty claims revealed similar fatigue cracking patterns near the clamping area. No injuries have been reported, and the company emphasises that this recall represents precautionary action rather than response to field failures. Affected units can be identified by date codes stamped on the handlebar's centre section—codes beginning with "E25C" through "E25H" fall within the recall scope. Owners should contact Pro Taper customer service for free replacement with expedited shipping.
