FAQs
What is the diameter of the Renthal Fatbar?
The Renthal Fatbar has a 1-1/8 inch (28.6mm) diameter in the clamping area, tapering to a standard 7/8 inch (22.2mm) diameter at the control ends.
Is this handlebar suitable for street use?
While primarily designed for off-road, riders may use them on street-legal dirt bikes. Ensure all necessary lighting and control components are compatible and legally installed.
How do I know if the Ricky Johnson/CR High Bend is right for me?
This bend is generally considered a taller and wider option, often favored by riders who prefer a more upright riding position. Comparing its dimensions to your current handlebars or consulting rider reviews can help determine suitability.
Does the black finish chip easily?
The black finish is durable, but like any coating, it can be subject to wear and tear from repeated use, especially with impacts from rocks or debris. Proper care can help maintain its appearance.
What is the main advantage of Renthal's exclusive aluminium alloy?
Renthal's exclusive 7010 T6 aluminium alloy offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, meaning the handlebars are very strong yet relatively light, contributing to better bike handling and reduced rider fatigue.
Do I need special clamps for these handlebars?
You will need 1-1/8 inch (28.6mm) handlebar clamps, often referred to as 'Fatbar' clamps. Standard 7/8 inch clamps will not fit the center section of these handlebars.
What is the warranty period for Renthal Fatbars?
Typically, Renthal products carry a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or on the Renthal website for exact details.
Troubleshooting
Handlebars feel too high or too low after installation
Adjust the mounting position within the triple clamps if possible, or consider a different Renthal bend that better suits your ergonomics. Ensure you are using the correct mounting hardware.
Controls (throttle, clutch) do not slide smoothly
Ensure the internal diameter of the Renthal Fatbar is clear of debris. If necessary, use a fine-grit sandpaper or emery cloth to smooth the interior surface where controls mount. Confirm you are using the correct diameter controls for the Fatbar.
Black finish appears scratched or worn
Minor scuffs can be buffed out with a microfiber cloth. For deeper scratches, consider a clear coat protection or accept the wear as a sign of use. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the finish.
Vibration seems excessive
Ensure handlebars are torqued correctly and uniformly. Check if handlebar-mounted accessories are causing resonance. Some vibration is normal with aluminium handlebars; consider grip donuts if excessive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These handlebars are designed to fit standard 1-1/8" (28.6mm) clamps. Ensure your motorcycle's triple clamps are compatible with this diameter. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct torque specifications and alignment. Verify that internal throttle tubes and controls fit properly within the bar's diameter.
Compatibility: While designed for motocross and enduro, these handlebars are compatible with most modern dirt bikes that utilize 1-1/8" handlebar clamps. Always check your motorcycle's service manual or consult with a professional to confirm fitment before purchase.
Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the black finish. Inspect the handlebars for any signs of damage or stress before and after each ride. Ensure all mounting bolts are periodically checked for tightness.
