Bring back the Biff(BRAAAAAP)
Rating:
The Good
Competitive weight in Aluminum DH/Trail Bars
Bar width between the two offerings (Fatbar and Lite)
Several offering in heights (30 & 38 being the obvious choice)
Clean asthetics
Sweep / Rise allows for major earth raping
The Bad
Only one colorway, would prefer a black option
Bar Graphics (alignment)
Overall Review:

I've had the opportunity to ride for a wonderful competitor of Renthal for two years prior to 2013 but didn't continue the relationship this year, because of that, I wanted to try a different offering and I decided I'd Renthalize.

In my time riding for the previous sponsor, I began to develop hand cramps between my thumb and forefinger and could never figure out what the problem was. I tried several different offerings of the company but always developed this pain. Speaking with colleagues, we hypothesized that it was the handlebar's sweep / rise causing the pain due to my hands' contact point in this area.

I wanted to try Renthal because of the flatter sweep, in hopes that it would spread out the weight distribution across my palm.

I've been running the Fatbars for a couple months now and can definitively say my hand pain has greatly diminished to a point of zero. I develop no hand pain or no arm pump which has increased the amount of my time on the bike during each run (be it trail or DH) as well as letting me maintain my aggressiveness throughout the ride.

I'd recommend Renthalization to anyone that asked me.

Best Bar I've Ridden
Rating:
The Good
Lightweight, rigid yet forgiving for optimum control, great shape and no taper allows for custom positioning of brakes for anybody, great look and color, perfect width for downhill
The Bad
Nothing. If given the choice however i would swop for a 30mm rise
Overall Review:

Really great bar, no negatives. You are buying a bar that has heritage so it wont disappoint. I would definitely go for a bigger rise though, getting your head up and allowing you to really look forward. I have the 10mm rise and its a little too low. The only reason i gave it 4.5 stars is because theres possibly something better...

Renthal fatbar and fatbar light
Rating:
The Good
strong
stiff
nice color
good riding position
The Bad
nothing really
Overall Review:

i love this handlebars, i have the fatbar in my Downhill bike at 20 elevation and cuted down to 760 mm,i don't like to mutch wide, but it is a question of tastes. The fatbar lite that i have on my enduro bike is the 30 elevation and the standart 740mm,

I love the riding position that it gives, and it's the same position on both bikes, it's almost riding the same bike.

I've already had some crashes with both and they are like new.

Renthal FatBar Lite !
Rating:
The Good
perfect sizing out of the box, integrates seamlessly with the Renthal stem.
The Bad
None ! just makes you want to buy the other sizes.
Overall Review:

I got a 20mm rise FatBar Lite, absolutely changed my riding. One can get more aggressive yet more in control. It is my first set of bars at this width, and i don't think i need wider for the enduro/ trail riding stuff. Perfect integration with the Renthal stem, and lock-on grips.
