Renthal Fatbar V2 Riser Bar

While the Fatbar V2 is engineered specifically for the rigors of downhill racing, its vibration-damping properties make it a comfortable choice for aggressive trail riding as well. However, if you are looking for a lighter setup for long-distance cross-country riding, you may find this bar slightly overbuilt.

Yes, you can trim the bar to your preferred width. Renthal includes cut marks on the ends of the bars to help you achieve a precise, even cut, though you should use a fine-tooth hacksaw designed for carbon fiber to avoid splintering.

This model features a 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is a standard size for most mountain bike stems. Please double-check your current stem specifications to ensure compatibility before purchasing.

The uni-directional carbon layup is tuned to offer a specific balance of stiffness and vibration damping. Unlike aluminum, which can feel harsh on high-speed chatter, this carbon construction helps absorb trail buzz, which can significantly reduce hand and arm fatigue during long descents.

The reinforced clamp area is designed for durability, but you should still use a torque wrench during installation. Always adhere to the torque specifications printed on the bar or your stem to prevent damage to the carbon fiber.
