Lightweight Without Sacrificing Ride Feel
Renthal's Fatbar Lite Carbon was developed to offer the low weight riders expect from a premium carbon handlebar without creating an excessively harsh or nervous feeling on rough trails.
The carbon fibres are carefully oriented to provide controlled flex, helping absorb trail vibration while maintaining accurate steering and confident handling.
Full UD Carbon Construction
The Fatbar Lite Carbon uses high-strength unidirectional carbon fibre. The placement and orientation of the fibres are optimised to maximise strength while allowing Renthal to fine-tune the stiffness of the bar.
This produces a cockpit that feels precise under hard cornering while helping reduce some of the vibration transmitted through the handlebars on rough terrain.
Rather than simply making the bar as stiff as possible, Renthal tunes the carbon lay-up to provide a balance of control, feedback and comfort.
740mm Trail Geometry
The 740mm width provides a compact trail-focused cockpit that works particularly well for XC, lightweight trail bikes and riders who prefer a slightly narrower bar.
A proven 7° backsweep and 5° upsweep create a natural hand position while maintaining the direct steering feel Renthal handlebars are known for.
Multiple Rise Options
The 740mm Fatbar Lite Carbon was produced with a choice of rise options, allowing riders to tune their cockpit height to match their riding position and bike geometry.
- 10mm Rise
- 20mm Rise
- 30mm Rise
- 40mm Rise
Please select the required rise from the available product options where applicable.
Designed for Accurate Setup
A positioning grid around the centre clamp area makes it easier to align the handlebar accurately in the stem.
Width markings at each end also allow riders to trim the bar to their preferred width if required.
