Renthal® Fatbar® are the market leading unbraced handlebar. Featuring a tapered wall profile enables the clamping diameter(1-1/8" | 28.6mm) to be larger than the control ends (7/8" | 22.2mm). This profiled wall and brace-less design combines excellent strength with good flexibility.
Strength for the bar is created within the tapered wall profile allowing for a brace-less design. This enables a confident level of flexibility in the handlebar. Fitted as OE equipment by KTM and Suzuki.

Renthal Fatbar Handlebar features:
Braceless Design: The design of the handlebar is aimed at reducing weight whilst maintaining an extremely high strength. The brace-less design allows for a comfortable level of flexibility.
7010 T6 Aluminium: Renthal has exclusive rights to this specially developed alloy, for the manufacture of handlebars. Designed specifically as a handlebar aluminium the material helps limit vibration.
Shot Peened: Millions of tiny steel shots are blasted at high velocity at the bar, breaking the surface tension of the material and leaving a textured surface finish. The process increases the fatigue life and durability of the bar.
Knurled End: The Clutch side of all Fatbar handlebars are knurled. This gives a larger bonding area when applying grips to the handlebar.
Anodised finish: The anodised surface finish provides an integral coating preventing corrosion. The 15 step process is carefully carried on on each bar individually.
Clamping Diameter: The oversized clamping diameter gives means the handlebars are held in the bar mounts more securely.
Positioning grid: Laser marked onto the centre of the handlebar, a detailed setup grip ensures you can centralise the bar in the mounts and accurately set the angle in the mounts.
Fatbar Pad: Every handlebar features the Renthal Fatbar pad, they help prevent injury and provide a smart look to your bike. Injection moulded to the highest quality, then wrapped in a durable pad cover.
