Seeing that long-travel bikes are moving towards the slacker and longer end of the design spectrum Renthal went back to the drawing board to redesign their legendary FatBar to better serve all-mountain enduro and gravity disciplines. The result is Renthal’s re-engineered FatBar V2 which builds on the iconic performance and success of the first version with an 800-millimeter width and reduced weight through careful application of light yet strong 7050 T6 aluminum alloy. Not only is it 20 millimeters wider than the previous FatBar for better control when you’re riding on technical trails and downhill courses but it weighs approximately 45 grams less which is a pretty significant weight savings considering it’s still made of alloy and doesn’t cost any more than the original bar. If it’s a bit too wide for your tastes you can always cut down the bar ends with width markers helping you get the job done. Additionally Renthal now offers the FatBar V2 in a stealthy black colorway for riders who aren’t a fan of their signature anodized gold.
