What brand of bars to buy?

[Utenz]

Which is better in your opinion?
Zeta or Renthal?
I need to replace my bars on a budget so not keen on the oversize models.
On my last ride I had a wee off & have bent my handle bars. I'm not keen to straighten (stress) the alloy bars again & have been looking at some options = Zetas v Renthal. What has been your experience with either?

Renthal make better bars imo, but they are around twice the price of the base model zeta. I personally would run Renthal or Tag before zeta.

Cheers, Tag on bike now. Have been a good strong bar.

Certainly, but want to compare dollar for dollar, apples against apples. Tags are dearer than Renthals & at the upper limit of my budget.

I'd take Tag or Renthal over Zeta anyday.

At these prices I'm sticking with a new set of Tags.
Thanks for the input/advice.

Like Mr CR, I have twin wall Renthals and have had a couple of serious goes at throwing the bike at the scenery, but they haven't bent yet. Had Zetas on my old RM, one 1/2 decent "hello tree" bent them beyond use. You pay what you get for.

I have these Tag bars

http://www.mrmotorcycles.co.nz/product_info.php?cPath=42&products_id=1149 I have mashed them into the ground at speed a few times but yet to bend them... little pricey I guess though.

Had Renthals and Zetas on the DR650 and the Renthals seem to have been put through a better hardening process.
