The Renthal Fatbar 20mm Version 2 Handlebar is designed to be the ultimate aluminum downhill race handlebar, balancing lightness, strength, and durability. Here are the key features of this handlebar:
Race Weight:
- The new Fatbar has a significantly lower weight, reduced to just 315g. This weight reduction is achieved through more efficient material use, eliminating excess to decrease weight while retaining strength, durability, and the flex characteristics of the original Fatbar.
Race Geometry:
- The width of the Fatbar is increased to a full 800mm, making it suitable for trail bike use where a super-wide handlebar is required. It features a proven 7° back sweep and 5° up sweep combination. The handlebar is available in 20mm rise option, along with 10mm, 30mm, and 40mm rise options, catering to various bike setups and rider preferences. Rise options are available in both 31.8mm and 35mm diameters.
Race Winning:
- The Renthal Fatbar has earned cult status as the aluminum handlebar of choice for World Cup downhill races. It has contributed to winning eight World Championship gold medals, making it one of the most successful race products.
Aluminium Tech:
- Constructed from exclusive high-strength 7-series aluminum, the material and specific heat treatment processes are carefully selected to provide the ultimate in strength and durability.
Ultra Durable:
- The handlebar undergoes a shot peening process, where tiny steel shots are blasted at high velocity, creating a textured surface finish. This process significantly increases the fatigue life and durability of the handlebar.
Hard Anodised:
- Featuring a hard anodizing surface treatment, the Fatbar has superior abrasion resistance compared to standard anodizing, ensuring a long-lasting, new appearance.
