FAQs
What is the main advantage of Renthal's 7010 T6 Aluminium alloy?
This exclusive alloy is specifically formulated to offer high strength for durability while significantly reducing vibration, enhancing rider comfort and control.
Are these handlebars compatible with oversized (1 1/8") clamps?
No, these are 7/8" handlebars and require 7/8" specific clamps. Adapters may be available for oversized clamp setups, but direct fitment is for 7/8" clamps only.
What does 'CR Mid Bend' refer to?
'CR' often denotes a bend style popular in motocross, and 'Mid Bend' indicates a standard or medium rise and sweep, designed to fit a wide range of riders and bikes.
How does the cross brace affect performance?
The cross brace increases the overall stiffness of the handlebar, leading to more direct steering response. It also provides a point of attachment for the brace itself, which can add further rigidity and a distinct feel.
Can I use these for street riding?
While primarily designed for off-road, their durable construction and vibration-dampening qualities can also benefit street bikes that utilize 7/8" handlebars, provided the bend and width are suitable for your riding posture.
What is the recommended maintenance for these handlebars?
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. Periodically check that all mounting bolts are secure and inspect the handlebars for any visible damage.
Troubleshooting
Handlebars feel loose after installation
Check that all handlebar clamp bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Ensure the clamps themselves are properly seated and not damaged.
Cables or hoses are binding
Re-route cables and hoses to ensure they have free movement throughout the full range of handlebar motion. Check for any kinks or twists.
Excessive vibration is still present
While designed to reduce vibration, some level may persist depending on the motorcycle and terrain. Ensure grips are securely attached and consider aftermarket bar end weights if available for your setup.
Controls feel stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure that controls are mounted correctly on the 7/8" diameter section of the handlebar and that they are not rubbing against other components. Check cable lubrication and routing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure you have appropriate 7/8" handlebar clamps installed on your motorcycle's triple tree.
Remove your old handlebars, taking note of cable and hose routing.
Transfer grips, controls (throttle, clutch, brake levers), and any other accessories to the new Renthal handlebars.
Carefully route all cables and hoses, ensuring no pinching or binding, especially when turning the handlebars from lock to lock.
Tighten handlebar clamps to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Over-tightening can damage the handlebars.
Compatibility:
These are 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter handlebars and require corresponding 7/8" handlebar clamps.
Ensure the handlebar bend and width are suitable for your specific motorcycle model and riding posture.
Care:
Clean the handlebars regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness and inspect the handlebars for any signs of damage or stress fractures.
