FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Twinwall design?

The primary advantage is significantly increased strength and durability due to the dual-tube construction, making them highly resistant to bending or breaking under stress.

What size triple clamps do I need for these handlebars?

You will need oversized triple clamps with a 28.6mm (1 1/8 inch) clamping diameter.

Will my standard grips and controls fit on the ends?

Yes, the ends of the handlebars are 22mm (7/8 inch) in diameter, designed to accept standard grips, throttle tubes, and switchgear.

What does 'Yamaha YZ/YZF 2006 Bend' mean?

This refers to the specific curvature and rise of the handlebars, designed to mimic the original bend found on Yamaha YZ and YZF models from 2006. It dictates the sweep and height.

Are these handlebars suitable for trail riding as well as racing?

Yes, their durability and strength make them excellent for demanding trail riding, enduro, and motocross applications.

How do I clean and maintain my Renthal handlebars?

Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Regularly check mounting bolts for tightness.

What is the warranty period for Renthal handlebars?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. It is best to check with your point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel stiff or don't have enough flex

Ensure the handlebar clamps are not overtightened, which can restrict natural flex. Verify that all controls are installed correctly and not binding.

Controls do not fit on the handlebar ends

Confirm that you are using standard 7/8 inch (22mm) diameter controls. The handlebar ends are designed for these, not oversized versions.

Handlebar vibration seems excessive

While Twinwalls are known for vibration damping, ensure all mounting bolts are properly torqued. Check that grips are securely glued or fastened.

Handlebar clamp bolts are difficult to tighten

Verify that you are using the correct size bolts for your triple clamps. Do not force bolts; ensure threads are clean and aligned.

  • Designed to withstand extreme off-road conditions

Cons

  • Specific bend (Yamaha YZ/YZF 2006) may not fit all riders or bikes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have 28.6mm (1 1/8 inch) diameter clamps to mount these handlebars. The ends are designed for standard 7/8 inch controls (grips, throttle tube, switchgear). Double-check that your existing cables and hoses have sufficient length and clearance for the chosen handlebar position. Adjust levers and controls to your preferred angle.

Compatibility: This specific model, the 918 Twinwall, features a Yamaha YZ/YZF 2006 bend. It's crucial to confirm this bend geometry is suitable for your specific motorcycle model and your riding posture. While the clamping diameter is oversized (28.6mm), the control ends are standard (22mm).

Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with mild soap and water or a dedicated motorcycle cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the titanium finish. Periodically check the clamping bolts for tightness and inspect the bars for any signs of damage after hard impacts.
