Mako 360's rock, only have one between my bikes but have swapped it between the bikes and totally feel that difference. Things that allow me to ride longer without feeling tired are good, I remember how my hands used to feel on my '03 KTM non-counterbalanced paint-shaker :).

The MAKO 360s are awesome and so are the folks who make them. Lance helped me work out a way to put them on 2 bikes that they didn't even have kits for (2001 YZ250 and 1996 XR400R). They work perfectly! I'm glad you keep revisiting the topic so more riders can hear about them, Morgan.

I was hesitant to spend that much on a bar clamp and I have to say it's some of the best money I've ever spent on my bike, my hands would get numb from typical 2 stroke vibration and the Mako has all but eliminated that, an aftermarket upgrade that actually works imagine that.

I am beyond excited I picked up a 23 300rr race and love it to death the last bike I owned was an 09 yz450 bought new so it’s been a min and I have a bum wrist “clutch hand” and I did hrs or research on the mako, flex bars, stabilizers, that little shox tuned damper thingy I’d run all the above of if I could so seeing you on a 24 300rr will be especially exciting for me you’ll be my Guinea pig for testing parts thinking about getting a new twin spark 300rr in the spring for my next bike.

Love mine, vibration better on the yz250. Most noticeable the day after my wrists are way less sore. Just waiting for a barpad, even with the chest protector took my breath away when I smashed it, couldn't image hitting your chin on it... I know they're working on one though.

I have a Mako 360 on my 300xc. It was on the bike when I bought it. I never gave it much thought until I watched this video today. Last weekend I rode with my son, and switched bikes for a bit. It’s a CRF250x. Anyhow, I had to stop after a bit because my hands were starting to get the pins and needles feeling. Not a good feeling. We switched back and all was good. I do have arthritis in both wrists and I’m an immature 49 years old.

Speaking of the new Beta 300RR...AWESOME bike BTW and I'm looking at that as my next bike as well. I was just checking the specs and came across a very interesting one.........GROUND CLEARANCE. So, I have a 2023 KTM SX-F 350. I'm 5'8" 27" inseam NEEDED more confidence with footing when in the rough stuff, and so had I had my KTM suspension guy do a Kouba 1" lowering link (and I raised the forks in the clamps a bit). Now...... many people gave me a hard time about losing ground clearance (amongst all the other BS about destroying the bike's geometry etc etc etc) if I'm riding trails/woods/enduro telling me it was a HUGE mistake as I NEED that clearance. Well, interestingly enough, I just happen to check the Beta 300RR Race and the stock ground clearance is 12.6".....the stock ground clearance on my KTM is 14.1", so let's do the math....14.1" -1" = 13.1"......I'm now at 13.1" ground clearance which is still half inch MORE CLEARANCE than a bike that top Italian engineers designed specifically for enduro! So, in closing I'd like to tell everyone who gave me a hard time to "SUCK IT!!!" (not directed at anyone on this channel at all...this is in case one of those chumps happens to stop by here) 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁😁😁❗❗❗❗❗❗

@@highlandcycles haha. You're the one who convinced me! Before I lowered the bike (BTW, I also have a -20mm low Guts foam seat......was hoping that would give me enough at first, unfortunately not) I was already not looking forward to riding and that right there is a big problem. When you don't have footing in rough stuff, you fall so much more and it becomes discouraging real quick (considering one fall from 2 mph, I smashed my elbow on a massive rock and it killed for two weeks!....I now have elbow guards!) As you've said, if it makes you want to ride more, do it. Not to mention, I'm an intermediate rider (rode my entire life, just took off about 15 years and getting back in) so at my ability, I would NEVER EVER notice any bike characteristic changes all because it's lowered 1". Not only that Rocky Mountain has a vid with Chase putting on a Ride Engineering lowering link on his personal bike to get rid of stink bug. Nobody told him he just completely ruined his bike....right? LOL Rant over! hahaha

I’m 6’3” and the bars being a pinch higher would be nice but they aren’t really for that. Like I said I’d really like to just try a set. Lol.
