Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the 7010 T6 Aluminium Alloy?

The 7010 T6 Aluminium Alloy offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, providing excellent durability while reducing vibration transmitted to the rider.

What does the 'RC Bend' refer to?

The 'RC Bend' refers to a specific rise, sweep, and width combination designed for motocross and enduro riding, often favored by professional riders.

Are these handlebars suitable for all types of riding?

They are primarily designed for motocross and enduro riding. While usable for other disciplines, their specific bend and braced design are optimized for off-road performance.

Do I need special clamps for these handlebars?

Yes, these are 7/8" (22.2 mm) handlebars, so you will need triple clamps and control perches that are specifically designed to accommodate this diameter.

How do I install the included SX bar pad?

The SX bar pad typically wraps around the center brace of the handlebars and secures with Velcro or straps, offering padding and branding.

Can I use these with a steering stabilizer?

Compatibility with steering stabilizers depends on the stabilizer's mounting hardware. You may need specific adapters or a stabilizer designed for 7/8" braced handlebars.

What is the warranty period for Renthal handlebars?

Warranty information typically varies by region and retailer. Please refer to the purchase documentation or contact the seller for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Handlebar feels too stiff or too flexible

Adjust the handlebar angle using the positioning grid and re-tighten clamps. Ensure control mounting hardware is not overtightening.

Difficulty installing controls

Verify that all controls and clamps are specifically designed for 7/8" (22.2 mm) handlebars. Ensure no debris is present in the control mounting area.

Anodised finish shows wear

Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Minor wear is normal with regular use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction using high-grade 7010 T6 Aluminium.
  • Reduces vibration transmitted to the rider.
  • Braced design offers improved steering precision and stiffness.
  • Includes a positioning grid for easy setup.
  • Comes with a protective SX bar pad.

Cons

  • The braced design may feel less flexible than some non-braced alternatives.
  • Requires specific 7/8" (22.2 mm) controls and clamps.
  • RC bend might not suit all rider preferences or riding styles without adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the correct 7/8" (22.2 mm) diameter clamps and controls (throttle, brake lever, clutch lever, switches) designed for this handlebar size. Use the laser-engraved positioning grid to align the handlebars in your clamps and set your preferred angle. Tighten clamp bolts evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.

Compatibility: These handlebars are compatible with most motorcycles requiring 7/8" (22.2 mm) handlebars. Always confirm your motorcycle's original handlebar diameter and clamp size before purchase. Ensure any aftermarket controls or accessories are also designed for 7/8" handlebars.

Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with mild soap and water or an approved motorcycle cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodised finish. Periodically check that all bolts and clamps are secure.
