I'm on the look out for some handlebars with a sweep greater than the 8-9 degrees that is fairly common. I think 12 degrees would be fine. I've come across SQLab and Syncros but I'm also looking for other options. Bonus points if they're available in 35mm as that would avoid a stem change.

Syntace also do 12degs. Not sure about 35mm though.

On One Fleegle Pro on my bike. They are the only one I've found other than SQ labs.

Salsa do 11 deg if you can find them.

I have a set but in 31.8mm diameter.

17 degrees is the goldilocks angle.

Fleegles are good. I think the 25.4 bar/stem helps with

comfort, too

Titec Flat Trackers are only 700mm but feel good with an 11 deg sweep. £21 here -

Stooge Moto, but they're 17 degree, 31.8mm only and are rarely in stock.

Thanks nairnster. I was after something with a bit of rise too.

I might be interested if scotroutes doesn’t want them

Go for it!

Thanks for all the other suggestions too. I'm not sure that 16/17 degree bars will work well on a AM full-suspension bike so still prevaracating.
