:O
That looks awesome!
If renthal makes mountain bike bits like they do with motos, there sure to be good!
Might have to look into them for my next ring....

I do find it pretty funny how on all of thei mtb parts it has the same description, "this will allow you to ride faster jump higher and last longer".
haha,

How much will one of them set us back? (RRP)

 

[Belrose Bicycles]

yeah they look real nice i have one coming for my makulu should make me jump real big

RRP 99.95

Haha!
Coming from a motocross background, I reckon there chainrings will last ages, either that or they'll underestimate how much we actually pedal and it will last for 2 weeks.
Will be interesting to see..

Iv'e been using one of these on my 4x bike for a little while now.
The quality is awsome!

do they come in 32t?

Renthal used to make MTB parts back in the 90s and then withdrew. They made some good stuff.

Hope their pricing is good.

Here's the details:

They also make a nice 1 piece bmx style chainring..

They also make bars, stems, grips now as well.
Price for my chainring (36t) was about $80au all up including shipping and that's when the Aus doller wasnt anywhere near as good as it is now. But the quality of it is amazing. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Latest Dirt magazine has an article on these guys, good little bit of reading!

As far as I'm concerned thay've been making MTB parts for years. Their soft trials grips are the best MTB grips ever made, despite being made for trials motorcycles. They're even worth the expense of having to buy 2 pairs to gat a pair the same diameter.

The chainrings will be good. Have no doubt about that.

I like the look of their BMX chainrings, but they don't come in 1/8"

looks really nice and clean, would love one

The stems are similar in design to thesehttp://www.kodex-racing.com/en/products/detail/stems/strata_stem/ however the Renthal ones look a lot nicer.

I for one welcome the addition from Renthal to the pedaling world.

I wonder if it will push down the prices of some bars, as a set of 764 bend (Dirtbike Bars) costs around $89.99 from your local dirtbike shop, and those things are strong as F**k


Fox started out on dirtbikes, and that was their only output for a number of years, if not decades. But with stock suspension like Showa and Kayaba coming such a long way, no one is willing to dish out thousands for a Fox rig on their bike that handles no better than stock.

With mountain bikes Fox is the obvious choice. Same from Marzocchi, the Original Shiver USD pushy forks were groundbreaking at the time, and were directly based of their dirtbike siblings.

Wont be long until Ohlins attempts to make the change, and they do wonders in the dirtbike world, their suspension is literally years ahead of Fox.

Damn Sweeds

do they come in 32t?

I don't know if they are doing a 32T but MRP do and it's nice and light as well.

 

[evObda2]

Hasn't Ohlins got something to do with the Cane Creek Double barrel shock??

 

[Damienp]

Pretty sure it does.
