FAQs

What makes the Twinwall handlebars stronger than standard ones?

The Twinwall design uses two aluminum tubes, one nested inside the other. This construction provides significantly more resistance to bending and breaking compared to single-wall handlebars.

Is the blue finish durable?

The blue finish is an anodized coating designed for appearance and some corrosion resistance. While durable for normal use, it can be scratched by impacts or abrasive cleaning.

What does 'KTM High Bend' mean?

This refers to a specific handlebar bend profile developed by Renthal, often popular with KTM riders, characterized by a higher rise than standard or low bends, promoting a more upright riding posture.

Do I need special clamps for these handlebars?

These handlebars are designed for standard 7/8" (22.2mm) handlebar clamps. You do not need special clamps unless your motorcycle is equipped with oversized 1-1/8" clamps, in which case you would need adapter clamps.

How do I clean and maintain the handlebars?

Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Regularly check that all mounting hardware is secure.

What patents cover the Twinwall design?

The Twinwall design is covered by US Patent No. 6182528 & 5832785, and GB Patent No. 2321225, along with US Design No. 431803.

Where are these handlebars manufactured?

The Renthal 994 Twinwall handlebars are manufactured exclusively within the Renthal Factory by Renthal manufacturing employees.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel loose after installation.

Re-check the tightness of the handlebar clamps and stem bolts. Ensure the correct torque specifications are applied as per your motorcycle's service manual.

Bar pad does not fit securely.

Ensure the bar pad is the correct model for Renthal Twinwall handlebars and is positioned correctly over the center clamp. Check for any obstructions preventing a snug fit.

Anodized finish appears dull or scratched.

Clean gently with a mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Minor scratches are cosmetic; deep damage may indicate a need for replacement.

Handlebars seem to vibrate excessively.

Ensure the handlebars are properly tightened. Consider adding aftermarket vibration-dampening grips or inserts if vibration is a persistent issue, though this is less common with robust Twinwall bars.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and strength due to the Twinwall design.
  • High resistance to bending and breaking, crucial for harsh riding conditions.
  • Corrosion resistance provided by anodized and hard anodized finishes.
  • Favored by professional riders for reliability and performance.
  • Includes a protective bar pad for added safety.

Cons

  • Higher price point compared to standard handlebars.
  • May require specific clamps or adapters due to the unique dual-tube design.
  • Weight might be slightly higher than single-wall aluminum bars.
  • The 'KTM High Bend' may not suit all rider ergonomics or bike setups.
  • The blue finish, while visually appealing, can be susceptible to scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your triple clamps are compatible with the 7/8" (22.2mm) clamping diameter standard for these handlebars. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment. The included Renthal bar pad should be securely fitted over the center clamp area.

Compatibility: These handlebars are designed to fit most motocross and enduro motorcycles that use 7/8" handlebar clamps. Verify the 'KTM High Bend' geometry suits your preferred riding position and bike setup. The manufacturer part number for this specific variant is 994-01-BU-02-184.

Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft cloth to dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the anodized finish. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage, especially after significant impacts. Ensure all mounting bolts remain securely tightened.
