nitjay - hrc Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Ive got to get some new handlebars, ive got the choice between Apico ones. http://www.offroadaction.net/articles.php?var=2 and Renthal ones. http://www.trialsbits.co.uk/product_info.p...products_id=289 They are similarly priced, but I was wondering which would be better for my 99 GG, also what rise should i look at and what does the rise bit actually mean - something to do with the bend i gather.

nitjay - hrc Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Right so my current ones are a 5.0 rise, thanks for that now i know! but Apico or Renthal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I've seen a few pairs of renthal 7/8 bars snap recently I use apicos and they are a really good strong bar with a nice bend and sweep. they bend rather than snap....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 dont buy renthals...they are crap!! i have had 3 sets snap in my hand!! ive had apicos on 4 a while and they seem much better although the cross bar does come loose quite often...at least they dont snap..

physco Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 if renthal 7/8 handlbars are fitted and used correctly they will not snap.i have used them since 1975 with no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
