Renthal bars

Looking at a lot of bikes and these get mentioned in as hushed and reverential a tone as if god himself had ridden the bike.... Whats the difference between these and the bars that came on the bike? Worth doing? Shane, The

Most Japanese offroad bikes come stock with steel bars, these are fine but bend easily and aren't very strong when you drop it.
Renthals have a much greater wall thickness and are available in a lot of different bends to suit you better.
They were one of the the first to really popularise aftermarket bars but in recent years the likes of TAG, Answer and others have cought up and put a lot of development time into different styles like Pro-taper etc.
