Renthal Fatbar DH V3 Carbon Handlebar - 35mm

The Renthal Fatbar Carbon V3 (35 mm) handlebar is a true legend on the World Cup circuit, with multiple world titles and gold medals to its name. Designed for riders who refuse to compromise between light weight and strength, this UD (unidirectional) carbon handlebar offers the ideal balance of stiffness for razor-sharp steering precision and flex to reduce arm fatigue. Thanks to its “Ride-Tuned” design, it effectively filters high-frequency vibrations while maintaining the most committed lines in Downhill, Enduro, and technical Trail riding.

Renthal Fatbar Carbon V3 handlebar highlights

• Advanced UD carbon construction: Strategic placement of unidirectional fibers ensures maximum strength in high-stress areas and controlled flex.
• Ride-Tuned anti-fatigue design: Optimized vibration damping helps protect your hands and forearms on long, rough descents.
• Featherweight “Race” weight (225 g): One of the lightest handlebars in its category while far exceeding the most demanding strength standards (EN BMX tests).
• World Cup-proven geometry: 7° backsweep and 5° upsweep provide a natural, aggressive, and confidence-inspiring position on steep sections.
• Customization and fit: Available in 4 rise options (10, 20, 30, and 40 mm), with cut marks at the ends and laser-etched center marks.

Installation and setup recommendations

• Safe installation: Always use a torque wrench when tightening the stem and levers to strictly follow Renthal’s specified torque settings.
• Stem compatibility: This 35 mm diameter model requires a standard 35 mm stem (e.g., Renthal Apex 35 or Integra 35).
• Choosing the right rise:
  • Low rise (10 mm - 20 mm): Lowers the center of gravity and puts more weight over the front end to optimize cornering grip.
  • High rise (30 mm - 40 mm): Creates a more upright position, adds comfort, and makes it easier to clear obstacles on very steep slopes.
