ATV Four Play Soft Bars

New Soft Bars fit stock Yamaha, KTM steering stems

The ATV-specific Generation II Soft Bars from ATV Four Play are now available for direct bolt-on to the stock Yamaha YFZ450R, YFZ450X and KTM XC and SX model steering stems.

These model-specific Soft Bars match factory specifications and bolt directly onto the stock Yamaha and KTM steering stems without the need for additional hardware or modifications. Previously, ATV Four Play’s Soft Bars were designed to complement their anti-vibe steering stems and work in conjunction with most other aftermarket stems.

ATV Four Play designed the impact-absorbing Soft Bars in 2007 to help reduce the harsh hits dealt to a rider’s upper body throughout the course of a race.

Expanding the Soft Bar line to work with stock Yamaha and KTM steering stems gives riders an affordable way to reduce fatigue – and lap times – without the expense of an aftermarket anti-vibe stem. The Soft Bars’ Progressive Dampening System and its cone-shaped, vertical urethane bushing provide superior vibration reduction compared to other handlebar assemblies.          

ATV Four Play re-designed the mounting system to further reduce vibrations for ATV use. By avoiding the use of handlebar clamps, the Soft Bars eliminate the associated metal clamping joints, which can amplify otherwise subtle vibrations emanating from today’s sport quads. However, adapters are available for riders whose steering stems utilize the traditional motorcycle-style handlebar clamp system. And the Soft Bars also work with a wide range of aftermarket steering stems.

Color options are now available in black, orange and red anodized components. All aspects of the Generation II Soft Bars are rebuildable. Constructed of T-3 2024 aluminum tubing, the light weight Soft Bars include all hardened and zinc-plated hardware with attached grease zircs and foam bar pad.

The overall bar length is 31.5 inches with 10.5 inches of usable handlebar space in a 7/8-inch diameter bar. The Soft Bars weigh in at a mere 4.5 pounds and are available in the popular 12-degree bend, which is similar to the original Honda CR high bend. Retail price for the Soft Bars is $325.
