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$

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
