Bars, what ya running on your AM rig?

[DaHeel]

Need to go wider than my 685 Monkey Lites.

Chromag OSX cut to 760mm, but on my old bike I got a stock kona 780mm DH bar off pinkbike for $20 and cut it to 750, worked fine for a less 'bling' option haha

[joetron]

Race face Atlas. I rode them at 780mm for about 2 years, then cut to 755 last summer.

[D(C)]

Raceface Sixc cut to 765 mm.

[jm2e]

Old 5" Stumpy FSR. Went from 685 to 760something and am loving it. Kind of surprised by how nice this feels. Thanks to Unrulybaker for the hookup.

[Dickeymotto]

Still running the RaceFace Atlas marshal gave me for free a couple years ago at 785mm. I thought for sure I'd be cutting them shorter within the first week, but have stuck with it because it rocks.

Some old sunline things at like 7fiddy

[N1CK.]

Easton Havoc @ 750mm

[DirkaDirkaJack]

easton havoc 800! no i am not tall...yeah i need to cut them down, just been too lazy...feels sweet but i hit trees a lot.

Are your elbows all locked out on each side........to the point where you can't lean your bike any more?

Seriously, I love seeing that shit. Some of the best hillside guffawing I've ever had. You have too many trees in b'ham. That kinda things' a liability yo!

Hey girlz!

Can you touch your elbows behind your back!?

Let's try it!

[nickwm21]

Boobar at 780. Ape arms....

[DaHeel]

Got it 750+. Thanks boys!

[Anospa]

Had 745's before, going to get a sixc at 785 and see how that feels, will likely cut it down to 760ish. EC tree punching ftw!

[Bobcat Sig]

Easton Havoc carbon at 750, I believe.

[beaterdit]

Raceface Sixc cut to 765 mm.

Now that's a damn shame!

Running Funn Fatboy DH @ 785, cheap and not super heavy, feel great. Gonna look for something Carbon in that length for the new bike.

[Finstah]

Renthal Fatbar Lite, 740mm

I love love love the 7 degree back sweep much more than the far more common 9 degree.

Anytime I try bars wider than 750mm I'm always scraping them in the dirt when I turn .

[Diesel]

Friend at my LBS gave me his old Raceface Atlas bar cut to 762ish for my DH rig.
Liked it so much that I put the same on my AM rig. It's a little bit of an adjustment on the climb, but awesome on the descent.

[markcjr]

Renthal fat bar @ 750
38mm rise so i run them slammed on the stem

[1000-oaks]

Sunline V-One 745 low-rise. Have the 762 V-One flat on my dh rig, but will be cutting it down. Not sure if it's the width or if it has different angles than the 745...just doesn't feel right.

At full 785 they felt awkward, but they were somehow okay with 1 cm lopped off each end. Strange, eh?

Have you tried rotating the flat bar? You can effectively change the angles that way (i.e. give it more back sweep or more up sweep - makes a noticeable difference, imo).

raceface SIXC uncut. best bar ive ridden

[phatfreeheeler]

Have been running the OG SixC at 730 for years on my EnduroAllMountainTrail bikes. New bike is taller and more wagon like so went with 740 ENVE Sweeps.

Of course I cut my Boobars on my DH bike down to 760 too. Feels plenty wide. Also, I figure if Greg Minnaar, at 6'3" and with the option of any bar width, and I'm sure he tested several, only needs 808mm wide bars I should never need anything wider than 760

[chatton18]

gravity light @750

end of the day its a handlebar. Get one thats lightish and made of good aluminum and cut to size.
