Hey all, I have a 2019 tc max with the straight handlebar. Well had, its anything but straight after we slid in a muddy corner earlier today. Was going about 20kmh and the bike slid away under me. The handlebar got bent on the throttle side but i was able to ride it home. This is my first bike and still learning, hence why i’m on backroads 😅, is that just bad luck on how it landed or are these stock handlebars not that sturdy? I was already debating getting the newer model handlebar from the dealer because the straight one wasnt an ideal fit for me but a bit hesitant on the quality now tbh. They are in the pricerange of some decent brands, might be worth it to go for one of those instead? Recommendations welcome.  Also does anyone have the geometry of those newer handlebars?
