johnnyboxer Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 So ................which option is better? Renthal Fatbars or the Tomaselli Braced bars? Does one work better than the other or is just fashion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeni Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Fat bars.....lighter, stronger. Known in the cycle trade as a 'no brainer'. Fashion? The BMX industry thrives on fashion, I'm not sure the Trials industry has any :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 fatbars for lard arses like myself, no crossbrace means that your gut can go farther before it hits anything! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lestergg2005 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi John ! Depends who you talk to ! Some swear by Fat bars some prefer braced bars. As far as fashion goes if you look at two bikes of the same model, one with Fat bars and one with braced bars which one will look more pleasing or modern to the eye ?? Have you sorted another bike yet ? L. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've got crossbrace bars on my 4RT and fat bars on my gasser, don't feel any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomch Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Fat bars as you will have more teeth left should you ever stop abruptly for example when a ditch crossing goes wrong. Also you can strap a small gps nicely on the cushion over the clamps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusjack Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 You could always go the best of both worlds and get Renthals Twin Walls. They are a fatbar with a cross brace. Good bend and a VERY strong bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
