Are Renthal bars all they are cracked up to be?
Are Renthal bars all they are cracked up to be?
I just got some. I hope they do well. But my bro-in-law calls them Bendthals.
so many hills, so little time
well from my experiences on dirtbikes renthals SUCK they bend easy but u cant straighten them out perty easly my 350 has renthals and they havnt bent yet i like the bend that they have but i havent had it upside down yet
on my dirtbikes i will use PRO TAPERS forever i havent been able to bend the ones i got on there and ive had some realy bad falls i
if i ever buy bars now they will be pro tapers people have told me that FLY makes some strong bars but ive never used them
RENTHALS: week but nice bends
PRO TAPERS: strong as he||
STOCK bars: suck major assprin
I'd hardly say renthals are weak but there are a lot stronger out there. You get what you pay for. Renthals are a nice bar for the price. I prefer TAG T2 bars myself.

I've tweaked the Renthal's on my KDX200 pretty good a couple times. Their not bad bars, way better then any stock bar.
and they didnt bend at all!
the steering stem did......

I have Renthals on my 250R. So far Im pretty happy with them. I have bent them a few times rolling down hills, I just put a pipe over 'em and bend 'em back. So far they show no signs of cracking. I think they help with vibration alot too, I dont notice much vibration in them even on long rides. I think the ProGrip gel grips I have on it help alot there too. Im planning to buy another pair of Renthals, this time a little higher, the ones I have are a little low.
