XC Gear MAKO 360 Handle Bar Mount for KTM, Husqvarna, Husaberg, GasGas, Beta
MAKO 360 is a revolutionary, game-changing way to mount handlebars on a motorcycle. The MAKO 360 allows cushioned travel in any direction or angle to which force is applied to the handlebars. In other words, it provides significant additional dampening in 360 degrees. The dampening is not mechanically limited to a single plane. It dampens in every direction, which provides a level of comfort like nothing before it.
The MAKO 360 also eliminates any metal to metal contact between the handlebars and the rest of the motorcycle producing greatly reduced vibration to the rider’s hands. While all motorcycles vibrate; some vibrate more than others. With the MAKO 360 engineered polymers absorbing the vibration, riders will have substantially less grip issues, arm pump issues and overall fatigue. The result is higher energy levels on all rides, whether they are long or short. The added comfort will allow you to hit obstacles harder and faster, which means you can adjust your suspension more aggressively to get more out of your bike and yourself.

- Doctor approved – from one of the top physicians in motorcycle racing:
“As both a doctor and racer I am always interested in ways to prevent and control injuries. I got to see XC Gear products at the ISDE and asked to try them out. I am extremely impressed with their ability to control vibration. The clamps and pegs absorb micro impacts that over a long moto or ride add up to less fatigue and strain on the joints. My wrist and elbows felt much less sore than usual and I was already using another ‘flexible’ handlebar. I am not putting down this other bar at all, and I appreciate how that bar had helped me, but this MAKO clamp absorbs impacts in all directions, not just up and down. I was already impressed, but my second ride was the tight 71-mile rock-based ‘Moonshine Enduro’ in Pennsylvania, and it was with these repetitive impacts that I really started to notice how much the clamps and pegs helped. I could relax my hands on the grips knowing they would take some of the impact for me. I cannot tell you how much I endorse these clamps and pegs. If you ride or race, you owe it to yourself to get these products. Your joints will thank you.”
