It's important to feel the movement of the front tire and suspensions for riding a motorcycle. Most of those information of movements are transmitted through the handlebar. The handlebar's transmitted information about the front conditions directly to the rider is useful for improving the riding skills, and can be used for racing. The BabyFace's "Race Concept Handlebar Kit" introduced in this article is based on this concept.
