Bends and Dimensions
Choosing the right Fatbar36 for You
With the launch of Fatbar36 we’ve brought four of our most popular bends into the R-Works line. User’s might also notice a change to the way we present the height (B) dimensions. Now present are Bm and Bv dimensions. Bm is a direct replacement for B and relates to B measured. Bv is specific to Fatbar36 and is a virtual measurement that helps users compare Fatbar36 to our existing range of handlebars.
What is Bm?
Bm is the vertical measurement from the centre line of the mounting diameter to the centre of the end of the bars. Fatbar36 will always be 4mm lower when comparing this dimension to Twinwall and Fatbars.
What is Bv?
Bv is the vertical measurement from the baseline of the Fatbar36 to the centre of the end of the bars. This measurement will give you the true height of the Fatbar36 when comparing to a Twinwall or Fatbar.
Why Do Bm and Bv exist?
To create the Fatbar36 we needed to make the clamps higher to prevent the Fatbar36 from contacting the top of the forks. To offset this we have manufactured the Fatbar36 slightly lower than our Twinwall and Fatbar range when looking at the Bm measurement. Although in isolation Fatbar36 may appear lower in height when combined with the 36Tech bar mounts the position is exactly the same as the corresponding Twinwall or Fatbar bends.
How do I compare a Fatbar or Twinwall to the new Fatbar36?
