Renthal green motocross
sprockets and bars
Could bright anodising be coming in from the
cold after a spell in the prison reserved for
fashion criminals? Renthal have picked up on
the bright green shock springs on the factory
Kawasaki motocross bikes and released hardanodised green sprockets and handlebars. The
sprockets come in 48-tooth to 50-tooth and the
bars are available in Fat Bar for £75 or Twinwall
for £105, both including a bar pad. They fit
Kawasaki crossers and are available now.

glass-reinforced plastic in red, white, blue
or black – or in carbon-fibre (£139.95). The
other accessories are a trio of screens, a
Furygan Skull textile jacket
headlight protector and a bellypan.
