FAQs

Are these handlebars suitable for all motorcycle types?

Renthal 7/8" Superbike Handlebars are versatile, but their suitability depends on your specific motorcycle model and intended riding style. Always check compatibility and potential cable length requirements.

What does 'Superbike Medium' refer to?

'Superbike Medium' is a specific model designation referring to a particular set of dimensions (rise, width, sweep) designed for a common sportbike or streetfighter ergonomics.

How do I know which Renthal handlebar size is right for me?

Consider your current riding position and any discomfort you experience. Compare your stock handlebar dimensions with the specifications of different Renthal models (rise, width, height, sweep) to find one that suits your ergonomic needs.

Will I need to change my cables?

It's possible. If the new handlebars have different dimensions (especially width or rise) than your stock bars, your existing cables might be too short or routed awkwardly. Always check cable slack and routing after installation.

How durable is the gold anodised finish?

The 15-step anodising process provides a strong, integral coating that offers excellent protection against corrosion and wear under normal riding conditions.

Can I install heated grips on these handlebars?

Yes, provided the heated grip kit is designed for 7/8" (22mm) handlebars, they can typically be installed. Ensure compatibility with the grip diameter.

What is the benefit of the laser-etched positioning grid?

The grid allows for precise and repeatable placement of controls and fine-tuning of the handlebar's rotation and position, ensuring a balanced and accurate setup.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel unstable or loose after installation.

Ensure all handlebar clamp bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer. Re-check the center alignment.

Throttle or levers do not operate smoothly.

Verify that the cables are not kinked or binding. Check if the controls are fully seated on the handlebar. Ensure the correct diameter controls are used and that they are not colliding with adjacent components.

Anodised finish appears to be fading or corroding.

Clean the handlebars with a mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the protective anodised layer has not been compromised by deep scratches. If corrosion is minor, gentle polishing might help; severe cases may require professional refinishing.

Incorrect riding position achieved.

Loosen handlebar clamps slightly and adjust the rotation and position of the handlebars. Utilize the laser-etched grid for precise adjustments. If the desired position is still not achievable, consider handlebars with different rise, width, or sweep dimensions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

Renthal 7/8" (22mm) Superbike Handlebars are designed to fit most standard clamps and controls. However, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific motorcycle model. Depending on the chosen bar dimensions (rise, width, sweep) compared to your original equipment, you may need longer throttle cables, clutch cables, or brake lines. Ensure all controls (throttle, grips, levers) fit the 7/8" diameter.

Setup:

  1. Carefully remove existing handlebars.
  2. Install the Renthal Superbike Handlebars into the triple clamps, ensuring they are centered.
  3. Use the laser-etched positioning grid for accurate alignment. Adjust the bars fore/aft and rotationally to achieve your desired riding position.
  4. Reinstall controls (grips, throttle, levers) onto the new handlebars.
  5. Check cable routing and ensure no kinks or binding. If necessary, replace or reroute cables.
  6. Tighten handlebar clamp bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Care:

  • Clean the handlebars regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the anodised finish.
  • Periodically check that all bolts and clamps remain tight.
