Klar over det, og sikler på det selv. Men leste dette i Pinkbike intervjuet om denne, så tenkte bare å opplyse.

Doing their market research, Renthal discovered that there was a bigger market for the 740mm bar, so introduced that one first. If you're asking, "Why didn't they just make a longer bar and let people chop it down after?" The answer to the question is two-fold. First there is the question of weight. A longer bar means you have more leverage, so the bar needs to be built stronger to cope with that. So, following that logic through, if you make a shorter bar, you can use less material and make it lighter, as it needs to deal with smaller leverage forces.

The other question is a topic Renthal are one of the foremost proponents off - ride feel. When they develop their bars, they run blind tests with riders to determine what characteristics they want from the bar - trying to find the best combinations between comfort and stiffness for riders. If we go back to the leverage forces, the material that keeps the bar stiff is there in a precise layup to work with that amount of leverage. If you shorten the bar, you reduce the leverage and change the ride-feel of the bar, making it harsher, degrading the comfort Renthal worked hard to build into the bar. Market manager, Ian Collins, is very clear on this matter, "We don't believe you can make one bar fits all. We don't think you should make an 810mm bar and say 'well, you can cut it down to 740mm, if you want.' Yes, you can cut it down, but it isn't going to ride right."
