I would like to change my 22mm handlebar on my Tenere and consider Renthal 28.6 Fatbar.

But what shape should I have?? Rise, sweep, height etc?
Im about 190cm, and riding a lot in standing position and using 30mm risers. (30mm is on the verge of to what I need, probably 40mm would have been perfect!)

Should I go for a straight handlebar, or with a larger angle?

Its even harder to know what shape I want when I dont even now the shape of the Yamaha original handlebar! Is there any info about this somewhere?

Best regards

Measure the Yamaha or bars with a shape you like &
select the closest shape from the list below...

It comes down to personal preference and liking the particular bend. I would never buy a set of bars without feeling them first. One thing to consider is that there is enough room to fit all the controls ie grip, master cylinder, switch block.

Yesterday I bought some Renthal 613 bars which are the Enduro High bend - if this helps.


I am assured by uberthumper who uses these that the cables etc all work fine with the extra height.

I have the same, and yes the cables reach fine.

However... you need to take off the tank and re-route the throttle cables over the oil pipe (they run under it), this gives you the extra 'length' at the bars.

Like this ->



The red is the cables and where they currently run, the green is the oil pipe you need to route around, and the dotted blue line is the new route.

The 613's have a much more natural feel than the OE ones, and give a 25mm rise too, so no need for risers, but as has already been said, it's a personal thing (The Tiger is getting a 613 bar fitted when I can be bothered to figure out how it comes to bits... )

I don't know which model Renthal is that, I have it form my Husqvarna. It's a different shape than the stock and give extra 20 or 30 mm high.
It's ok for me but I am 1.85. About the risers I had it before on my Husky but the problem is they bend easy if you fall.

Thanks for the tip GULG.

I can help take the front off your Triumph - just bring it to the lakes!!

I'm the same height as you and have used 30 and 40mm risers. I found the 40mm risers brill....when up on the pegs! when sitting down (on long journeys) the bars were too high. (thats with standard bars)

The beauty is though my risers are shim stacks so you can take a shim out and adjust the height....which i do, depending on what or where im riding.

Thanks for all replies!

But I want a fatbar handlebar, Renthal 613 is 7/8...

About angle, sweep etc. Could you tell me the difference it makes? Whats good/bad about it? Is it ONLY for personal liking?

Tell me your experience about it, what do you like with YOUR new handlebar. Whats your riding style? Offroad/touring, standing position etc?

I have just put these "Artracs?" fat bars on my XTR...
they have a 40mm sweep... I find them to straight..
I will be replaceing them with something around 55/57mm sweep..
could also be a bit higher as standing up for long periods is not good..
looking at the Renthal CR high which has a 57mm sweep...thesse bars may be ok
on my XR250 as you sit a bit closer the the bars..more compact..
