I have some med. compound Renthal grips and I was just thinking about not putting them on until I get a new handlebar.

What do you like about the Renthal ATV bend handlebar? Is it more comfortable and give you a better ride?

Just wanted to hear from some of you who have them.

I don't have them yet, but I'm going to get some.
I was in the shop the other day and picked up a set of bars that were just LIGHT. I need to go back there and look at that brand again. They weighed evenless than the Renthal's did. I think less than a lb. Just a wicked piece. Then I picked up a steel set of bars on the shelf and they were way heavier. Like 4 lbs+. I can only imagine how much out stock ones weigh. For $35, mine are coming off in a few days too.

they are extremly nice. if your quad rolls over on top of them they will not bend. the only thing you want to worry about is bending your steering stem. but thats unlikely

I just installed a set of Renthals on my 400X, they are the Banshee bends. They are alot lighter than stock, very comfortable, look cool...what else can you say?

Good luck

I have 400ex bend Renthals on my Scram400 and it was worth the money. The feel is great and they look swell too!

I have Renthal 250R bend bars on my Scrambler w/ Medium Renthal diamonds. Much more comfortable that the stock bars. They look a bunch better too.

Do you use your stock bar clamps? How do I choose what bend to get? Is the ATV bend a general all-around use bend?

thanks.

Renthal Banshee bend here with Oury grips. Plenty of room for all the controls and the OE head set will hold them just fine. Pid in my sig shows mine before I put the grips on, plus I had the head set chromed.

AZ400L, that is one beautiful 400 you created there. What front bumper is that, Polaris?
I love the foot pegs and race cut plastic. Do you know how much it weighs now?
