Description
Renthal built its name on the motocross track, and the 1 inch V-Twin Handlebar in Mid black is that same racing pedigree bent to fit a cruiser cockpit. The bar keeps a true 1 inch diameter from end to end, so it slides straight into the stock clamps on compatible V-Twin models without shims, sleeves, or a trip to the machine shop. If you have ever wrestled a stock cruiser bar that flexes under braking or puts your wrists at an odd angle on a long highway stretch, this is the fix: a stiffer platform with a bend that opens up the reach and keeps your controls where your hands actually want them. Renthal has spent decades refining tube wall thickness and heat treatment for motocross, and that same discipline carries over here even though the application has changed completely.
Features and Benefits
- Full 1 inch tube diameter throughout for a clean, shim-free swap onto compatible clamps
- Notched section built in for Throttle-by-Wire systems, so the factory sensor seats correctly
- Internal channel slotted for wiring, keeping switch harnesses tucked and out of view
- Mid rise bend opens up legroom-to-hand geometry for a more relaxed seating position
- Black coating resists corrosion and surface scratches through years of exposure
- Same manufacturing discipline Renthal applies to its motocross bars, adapted for street use
- Consistent wall thickness reduces the flex you feel through the grips under braking
Fitment is straightforward: this bar is designed as a direct swap for V-Twin machines running compatible 1 inch clamps, and the notch and wire slot mean you are not fighting the bar to get your electronics reinstalled cleanly. Renthal is a genuine manufacturer part, not an off-brand copy, and IPD Racing stocks it specifically because we install this exact bar on our own project bikes. Part number 851-60-BK. If you are unsure whether Mid rise is the right call for your riding position versus a taller option, reach out before you order and we will help you land on the correct bend for your build.
