That stem looks interesting
reposters gonna repost
we've been selling stacks of Renthal's mid width and DH width riser bars since they launched, here in the UK
its a no-brainer to sell their bars in the UK, considering their moto-X heritage and reputation

I'm sure they'll be solid products, and the stem design looks interesting, but I'll stick with supporting companies that are dedicated to cycling, not dabbling from the moto world. If Renthal comes out with a genuinely innovative product, then they'll be worth supporting, in my book.
are the products made in UK?
at least they don't look like catalog parts.

Why is that?
There are lots of greats products out there from companies that aren't dedicated to cycling. Ohlins, Answer, Marzocchi, Fox, BOS, 5.10, TLD so on and so forth. Now Renthal too... awesome!

It's hard to argue with the radness that some of the big name suspension companies have brought to this sport, that's for sure, and looking at the list, I agree that a lot of those companies are seriously legit, and have brought professionalism and quality to our sport.
I guess I'd just be more stoked to give my money to companies that are run by riders. Maybe that impulse is obsolete in this day and age, especially considering how much engineering goes into modern parts, and how much of that engineering carries over between different sports.
