Project Banshee - Renthal
Renthal based in the UK provided us with a FatBar,
front and rear chainwheels and grips.

Renthal was formed in 1969 after a fortuitous conversation between two friends,
Andrew Renshaw and Henry Rosenthal. Both being motorcycle enthusiasts they
decided to begin making handlebars based upon a prototype Henry had made some
years earlier for his trials bike. The bars made from H14 aircraft aluminium
left over from world war two had worked well, being much stronger than the
original steel bars they replaced (in fact they broke the bending machine whilst
being formed).
With a great deal of effort they managed to make their own specialist tube
bender and with a supply of tube small-scale production began. They needed a
name and chose to combine the REN from Renshaw and the THAL from Rosenthal. A
lucky break came when local motorcycle dealer Jim Sandiford gave them their
first order, paying up front so they could actually afford to purchase the
material.
Making motorcycle handlebars was at this stage a part time job whilst Andrew
completed his degree in mechanical engineering and Henry did business studies.
At this time Renthal only made handlebars for the trials market but soon
realised that there was a larger market in Motocross and with an increase in
sales, full time production began in 1975.
The company continued to grow alongside the demand for its products with Andrew
taking responsibility for engineering duties whilst Henry pushed the commercial
side of the company. However by the early 90’s having been told that no European
company could make it in America, the largest motorcycle market opened up for
Renthal and the company reached a whole new level. Renthal now employ over 60
production staff and retail in 42 countries worldwide.
In October 2000 Renthal suffered a huge set back when the factory was destroyed
by fire. However just one year later Renthal were able to open a brand new,
purpose built manufacturing facility to house all the design, development and
manufacturing of its products. The 41,000 sq ft facility is dedicated to the
manufacture of Renthal motorcycle parts and utilises the most state of the art
equipment available.
For 2004 Renthal added to its list of records, becoming the first aluminium
handlebar to be fitted as OE on a Japanese motorcycle, possible one of the
highest accolades of quality anybody could receive.
