With the 35mm handlebar line, Renthal recognised the flex characteristics as being of optimum importance. For all the 35mm handlebars, they have matched their flex characteristics to the 31.8mm equivalent. All 35mm bars have the same ride quality that Renthal handlebars have become synonymous with.
The same ride quality has been achieved, with no loss of strength or durability at a very similar weight. The only exception to this is the Fatbar, where the weight has been reduced significantly, whilst maintaining the same level the strength, durability as the smaller diameter handlebar.
Importantly, the width of all handlebars has been increased by 20mm, taking the Fatbar Carbon 35 to 800mm. The product of an intense and in-depth research and development programme, this ride-tuned handlebar combines the ultimate blend of strength, stiffness and shock absorption. This is achieved at a full 800mm width and at a market leading 225g weight.
This handlebar comes in at 800mm and is approved for downhill racing and use with a twin crown fork. The Fatbar Carbon is an all-new handlebar, not just a wider version of the Fatbar Lite Carbon. Renthal followed the same in depth R&D process with this handlebar as with their previous Fatbar Lite Carbon, with the ride-feel of the bar being of the utmost importance.
The aluminium Fatbar has been hugely popular and successful, with six World Championship gold medals having been won using this handlebar. The mission was to match the ride-feel of the aluminium Fatbar but in a much, much lighter weight carbon package. With extensive R&D testing and data acquisition work, this has been proven to have been achieved. A downhill race handlebar with superb ride-feel characteristics and incredible strength. All this in a 800mm bar which weighs a mere 225g.
This Fatbar Carbon 35 is much more than the bar of choice for downhill racers. Modern trail riders, enduro racers and 29'er / 27.5in riders are demanding wide bars at XC race weight. The Fatbar Carbon 35 exactly matches those demands and is certain be the 'must have' handlebar for this huge market of riders.
Following Renthal's philosophy of giving the rider spec choice, they have committed to four different rises - 10, 20, 30 and 40mm. No other carbon handlebar brand offers this level of choice to give the rider such a precise fit.
