Anybody using titanium handlebars? How you finding them and what advantages/disadvantages is there using them if any? The ones I've seen, think they were Moots, were flat. Not seen any 'riser' ones, any reason for that?

I have a Ti frame so was considering some, any recommendations?

Cheers all

    Nuke Proof do one, but are about 200 quid. Dean also do a few, but are rarely seen (especially in oversized versions) as the tooling to taper the titanium is expensive. Nuke Proof instead welded the bar.

    But as with any bar, how they 'feel' depends on how stiff the bar is and this can very. Titanium is less likely to fatigue than alu, and possibly carbon, but I think for most, alu and carbon does just fine, is cheaper, and loads to choose rom.
