PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
The legendary modular Renthal handlebars are back with a long-awaited update … the ‘V2 MOTO’, for all intents and purposes, look like the iconic Renthal bars from the time of Liam Phillips, but the update brings them into the realm of current day BMX.
Visually the bars have a more modern feel with the new graphics and colour scheme, but it’s the new geometry that will attract most attention.
The previous incarnation had a massive back sweep of 12 degrees, while the ‘V2 MOTO’ has much straighter geometry of 6 degrees. With this simple change we expect to see a lot more of these bars on the gate going forward.
The bars are constructed from high strength ‘7 Series aluminium’, weighing in at a featherweight 611g for the 7.5” rise version. There is also an 8.25” rise option weighting in at 639g, while the cruiser bars with a rise of 5.5” tip the scales at only 566g. Both shorter options have a width of 710mm while the 8.25” rise has a width of 730mm. All three versions have a 2 degree up-sweep. The ‘V2 MOTO’ bars have an anodised, corrosion resistant finish with the central set-up grid graphic now a permanent pad print, leaving the anodised layer intact.
