Description
Most 85cc handlebars are treated as disposable parts, replaced whenever they bend rather than built to actually last, but Renthal took a different approach with the RC Mini bend. Every bar in this line gets a shot peened surface treatment, a process that bombards the aluminum with tiny media to relieve surface stress and delay the onset of fatigue cracking, which is the failure mode that actually kills most handlebars long before an outright bend does. It is a small detail that adds up over a full race season.
- Shot peened surface finish for improved fatigue life and long-term durability
- Width 742mm, height 119mm, rise 86mm for RC Mini / 85cc geometry
- Clamp area 95mm to match mini bike top clamps
- Sweep 61mm and control length 175mm for a natural grip angle
- Silver finish that looks clean and shows less scuffing than raw aluminum
- Purpose-built for RC Mini and 85cc fitment applications
Confirm your bike’s bar mount matches RC Mini / 85cc specs before ordering, since this bend is not a universal cross-fit part. For a rider putting real hours on an 85, the fatigue resistance from the shot peening is the kind of upgrade that only shows its value months down the road, when a stock bar from a competitor would already be showing hairline stress marks. IPD Racing carries this part in stock for quick shipping.
