Renthal has a huge pedigree in both moto and MTB racing with no less than 8 DH world championships being won by riders using a Fatbar. A huge amount of care and effort has gone into creating the perfect mix of strength and compliance, and sweep angles that are just right. The shot-peened surface treatment and hard-anodised coating will keep these handlebars looking great for years to come.

Who's this for: The Fatbar is Renthal's alloy DH handlebar. These wide bars are perfect for DH and other gravity oriented disciplines.

Material: These bars are constructed from Renthal's secret recipe of heat-treated 7 series aluminium to provide the ultimate in strength and durability. The surface of the bars is shot-peened to improve the fatigue life and have a corrosion and abrasion-resistant hard-anodised surface treatment to keep them looking fresh for longer.

Width: The bars have an 800mm width with cut marks to allow you to cut them down to your preferred width.

Sweep: 7 deg backsweep, 5 deg upsweep.

Rise: Available in 10, 20, 30, and 40mm rise options to suit your riding style and the steepness of your trails.

Markings: Laser etched positioning grid for easy setup, width marks allow you to trim the bars down to suit your riding style and the width of your shoulders.

Clamping diameter/bore: Available in 31.8mm and 35mm clamp options.

Weight: Varies according to which option you select but the 35mm clamp options weigh approx 305g while the 31.8mm weighs approx 315g. Yep, that's right, the 35mm clamp options are lighter.

Pros: The perfect mix of strength and compliance with a comfortable feel and the durability to keep them looking great for years to come.

Cons: Aluminium does have a small weight penalty compared to a lot of the carbon offerings out there.
