personal feel/fit come down to it.

find out what you have now and then work it out.

I wish i could
Commencal Premier 1” Oversize 6061 Are the bars I currently have..

But I can't find what the up and back sweep are..

If I knew I would just get the same as I quite like the feel of them ( although the bars are a bit too short, hence wanting to change them in the fort place.. )

I'll Also be needing some grips... any recomendations??

not those ergonomic things though... But nice, soft and comfy would be a plus....

superstar get decent reviews and cheap to.. i alway used odi lockons.. they make quite a few from soft to hard so have a look,,
i tend to use odi rogue they quite firm but last ages.. i know the odi yeti ones are pretty soft.. our kid uses these.

yeti
rogue
odi mtb grips
superstar grips

Cheers for the replies guys...

So is it all just down to feel? If so I might go for the 5/3 so I feel less cramped..

Or does the different angles actually make a difference to the control aspects o the bike?

cheers guys, I ended up getting the 750mm 5/3 bars,

Also thought i;d treat myself to a carbon fibre Stem and superstar grips ( grey with red locks )

Should look quite nice and save a bit of weight, along with feeling less cramped...

Was the stem any lighter than their alloy offerings?
