Morning All
I'm in the market for a new bar for my 29er HT to replace the 660mm Bonty Racelite flat bar it came with.
The general consensus seems to be in favour of flat bars for a 29er so whats a good bar to go for in a carbon flavour? I'd be looking around 700-720mm but other then that open to suggestion.
Cheers all 🙂
Niner flat tops, thomson carbon or ti flat bars with a big back sweep are lovely, answer 20/20 are great alt bars. Jones loops, easton ec70 wideboy only 685 but lovely.
Niner flat tops! Love them on my El Mar - but haven't seen or tried the others recommended above.

I'm liking the Niner and Thomson posts but there a bit on the pricey side. The 20/20's look interesting but I cant find a price?
Any other option, any thoughts on the Exotic Carbon bars?
oops, just saw the carbon stipulation, ignore my 1st post!
Spank777 (so 777mm) 5 degree rise on my lovely
Chainreaction have the 20/20 for about 120 quid
Truvativ noir , light weight 700mm wide and about £100 .

I'm liking the Kinesis Strut 740 which is on the front of my hardtail at the moment. Very light at 175g and not broken yet.
+1 renthal fat bar lite 10mm rise
Don't know if its just me but I have tried two 'flat' bars (not cheap ones either)on couple of 29ers and hated the look, feel, sweep, everything about them.
Far happier with a low rise - riser.
I'm 6 1 and a bit and despite having two 29ers with 140 forks the front doesn't seem that high.
The wide low riser carbon from XCracer (Mt Zoom) is a lovely bar.
I also favour the Renthal bars but they are of course alloy.

The wide Exotic bars all seem to be out of stock 🙁
I've a nice niner carbon flat top for sale, email if you're interested.
Sunline V1 762 Flats. Rare as rocking horse poop now though.
You could contact singlespeedstu off of here, he has literally 100's of pairs for sale 😆
*Withdraws offer of building someones new bike.*
Got some x-lite carbons from crc recently for £55ish - light and same sweep as niners
