FAQs
What material is the Renthal 966 made of?
It is manufactured using high-quality 7010 T6 aluminum.
Is the 966 a Fatbar?
No, the 966 is a 7/8-inch diameter handlebar. It uses the same material technology as the Fatbar but is designed for different mount specifications.
Can I use this on a street motorcycle?
While it is engineered for off-road motocross, compatibility depends on your motorcycle's handlebar mount diameter (7/8-inch) and the necessary control fitment.
Does the crossbrace come attached?
Yes, the handlebar includes a factory-installed crossbrace and patented clamps.
How often should I replace the handlebar?
You should inspect the bar for any signs of bending or stress after any major impact. If the bar is bent or shows signs of fatigue, it should be replaced immediately for safety.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar slipping in the mounts
Verify the torque specifications of the bar mount bolts and ensure no grease or debris is present between the bar and the clamp.
Excessive vibration felt through grips
Check that the crossbrace clamps are properly tightened and ensure your grips are securely installed.
Difficulty installing aftermarket controls
Ensure the bar ends are clean and free of burs, and verify your controls are compatible with the 7/8-inch standard diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Renthal 966 is a 7/8-inch handlebar, meaning it is compatible with standard triple-clamp mounts found on many off-road motorcycles. Before installation, ensure your existing bar mounts are clean and free of debris. When tightening the clamps, use a crisscross pattern to distribute pressure evenly across the bar surface, ensuring you do not exceed manufacturer-recommended torque specifications. To maintain the handlebar's integrity, avoid modifying, drilling, or heating the aluminum, as these actions can compromise the structural properties of the T6 material. Periodically inspect the crossbrace clamps to ensure they are secure and free from play.
