Description
Red has always been the loudest way to run the RC bend, and this bar gives you that classic Renthal look without touching the geometry that made the RC shape a staple in the pits. Ricky Carmichael’s fingerprints are all over this bend from his Pro Circuit Kawasaki and factory Honda days, and it has stuck around because it works for riders who do not fit neatly into a low bar or a tall bar category.
Specs and construction:
- RC bend rise and sweep split the difference between aggressive low bars and upright touring shapes, useful if you switch between tight tracks and open desert
- Oversized 1-1/8 in. (28.6 mm) clamp section resists flex and cracking better than stock steel bars under repeated landings
- Necks to 7/8 in. (22.2 mm) at the controls, a direct match for stock levers, grips, and bar-end weights
- Forged from 7010-T6 aluminum, Renthal’s own alloy developed for controlled flex rather than a stiff, harsh ride
- Raced by MX2 World Champion Jeffrey Herlings among many other title-winning riders on the RC bend
Confirmed fitment is 04-20 Honda and Kawasaki motocross models, so check your bike’s year against the listing before ordering. If red does not match your setup, IPD Racing stocks this bend in gold, green, and purple as well, and we are happy to help you land on the right bend if you are between sizes.
