It was only a matter of time until the legends at Renthal announced a flat handlebar, and thus, here it is. The new Fatbar Lite “Zero Rise” is available in both an Aluminum and a Carbon Fiber version. It retains the same backsweep/upsweep combination that has made Renthal’s bars so well liked, but also has a wider 780mm width than the current 760mm wide Fatbar Lite. Anyhow – here’s the full press release and specs from Renthal…
[Press Release] – In response to demand from both XC and trail riders for a zero rise handlebar, we have developed the Fatbar Lite Zero Rise and Fatbar Lite Carbon Zero Rise.
Following in depth market research, it was identified that a 780mm width would give trail riders all the width they need and give the option to reduce width for XC racers.
To align with all our handlebar ranges, the 9 degree sweep and the location of the bend from the centre, puts the riders hands in the same angular location from the stem as with all our other handlebars. We also matched the ride characteristics of the Fatbar Lite and Fatbar Lite Carbon, to give the same great ride quality.
