I take it you are in the UK...

No idea if that's a good price there or not. I have Renthals and good stuff. Mine are one of the lower MX bends, which suits me fine. I didn't buy them, they were on the bike.

Much better than bent ones by a long way.

I like the CR High bend a lot. Close to stock, but better for me. I went with the ProTaper version...it was probably cheaper at the time.

Meant to add that I've crashed at least 50 times without damage.
Even if crash 51 has changed that. I've noticed a slight difference after the last crash on my icy driveway. After resetting the fork legs the tweak is still there.
Anywho, any name brand bar will be much tougher than the stock bar. Mine are proof of that, even if bent after 4 hard years.

+1. I had ProTaper Cr High Bend on my KLX and my KDX and loved them. If I end up having to replace the OEM bars on my XCW, I'll probably go back to them again.

I don't recommend that you buy bent handlebars, new, or otherwise

I got a set of trackside CR bends. 19.95 US and I've banged them up pretty good with no damage..
