Renthal Fatbar handlebar


MOTOCROSS MEETS MOUNTAIN biking in this ultimate brawler's bar. The 780mm width gives plenty of leverage for crowbarring your way out of high-load situations and the limited sweep and rise (20 and 38mm also available) give it a really aggressive feel.

The stiffness is outstanding too, delivering pin-sharp feedback from trail to glove. That makes it feel very firm on rocky trails or through braking bumps, though it shrugs off big hits more smoothly than you'd expect. The 198$ Fatbar Carbon is similarly authoritative but 137g lighter and takes the sting out of bigger hits better as well.

Weight 363g
Width 780mm
Rise 10mm
Backsweep 7°
Upsweep 5°

PRICE 95$

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0
