Product Information

Full details

The Renthal Fatbar V2 is designed for gravity and trail riders who prioritize control and durability without adding unnecessary weight to their mountain bike setup. Its key strength lies in its 800mm width and high-grade 7050 T6 aluminum construction, providing a robust, stable feel on technical terrain. While it offers industry-leading performance, riders should note that its fixed 31.8mm clamp diameter requires compatibility check with modern 35mm stem standards before installation.

FAQs

Is the Renthal Fatbar V2 compatible with 35mm stems?

No, this version of the Fatbar V2 is designed specifically for 31.8mm clamp diameters.

Can I cut this handlebar to a narrower width?

Yes, you can cut the bar down to your preferred width using a standard hacksaw and a cutting guide. Always file the edges smooth after cutting.

What is the weight of the Fatbar V2?

The handlebar weighs 315g.

Does the hard anodised finish scratch easily?

The finish is designed for durability and is resistant to standard trail wear, though it can still be scratched by metal tools or severe impacts.

What is the sweep geometry of this bar?

It features a 7-degree backsweep and a 5-degree upsweep.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars slipping in the stem clamp

Verify that you are using a 31.8mm stem and ensure all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification using a calibrated torque wrench.

Creaking noises from the cockpit

Remove the handlebars from the stem, clean the contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, and re-torque the bolts. Use a small amount of carbon paste or friction compound if the slippage continues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Renthal Fatbar V2, ensure your stem uses a 31.8mm clamp diameter, as this bar is not compatible with 35mm stems. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stem faceplate bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque settings, typically between 5Nm and 6Nm, to prevent stress risers on the bar surface.

Always ensure that your controls (shifters, brake levers) are installed using the recommended torque to avoid marking the anodised finish. For maintenance, periodically wipe the bars with a clean, damp cloth to remove grit. Check the bar regularly for any deep gouges or signs of fatigue, especially after a significant crash.
