Full details

FAQs

Does this handlebar fit a standard 7/8 inch clamp?

No, the Twinwall 997 is a 1 1/8 inch (28.6mm) handlebar and requires oversized bar mounts.

What is the primary benefit of the dual-tube design?

It provides significantly increased strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it safer and more resilient during hard impacts.

How do I ensure the bars are centered?

Use the laser-engraved positioning grid located in the center of the handlebar to align the bar precisely with your bar mounts.

Can I use this for casual trail riding?

Yes, but be aware that the Twinwall is designed for high-impact racing, so it may feel stiffer than standard handlebars on long, mellow rides.

How should I clean the violet finish?

Use water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, which can scratch the anodized finish.

Is this bar compatible with standard handguards?

Yes, most aftermarket handguards designed for 1 1/8 inch bars are compatible with the Twinwall 997.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars slipping in the mounts

Ensure the bar mounts are clean and torqued to the correct specification; verify the clamp size is exactly 28.6mm.

Difficulty installing grips

Ensure the bar surface is free of debris or residue from previous grips; use a proper grip adhesive or safety wire for a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Renthal Twinwall 997, you must ensure your motorcycle is equipped with 1 1/8 inch (28.6mm) handlebar mounts, as it will not fit standard 7/8 inch clamps. When mounting, utilize the laser-engraved positioning grid to align the bars to your preferred sweep and height. When securing your controls, tighten them to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications to avoid damage. For care, keep the handlebar clean by wiping it down with a mild soap solution after riding. Periodically inspect the bar for any signs of deep scratches or impact marks, and replace the unit if you notice any structural deformation or stress lines.
