710mm low rise bars for DH

The Northern Monkey

As the title really.

710mm low rise (5-10mm) 31.8.

Looking at weight too, benchmark is the Renthal fatbar lite at 270g for 740mm and 10mm rise for £50 (Not sure on colour even though chopping them is an solution)

Taa.

Slightly more rise, but amazing weight:

There is a flat one.

Seen those, but can you cut them?
And tough enough for DH? Some of their stuff has weight limits so have been put off..

supersonic

Can cut most, but I would look into a weight just to be sure. Funn do a good line of tough bars too, and of course Easton.

FSA Gravity bars are pretty good and reasonably light. I have a set which are 720 wide with 15mm rise.

Think my Bonty Big Earls on the Session are exactly that

or

Easton Haven's? Look like more rise than the Big Earls but also strong and light and 711mm wide

I love my easton havoc's on the session, although a little wider at 750mm but perfect (for me anyway).
I looked at the CC one's and was a bit put off by it saying only xc/am. I'd like to know that what i'm running is proven for dh, like the havoc, as I wouldn't want to be worrying about taking a facefull of stem through no fault of my own

The Northern Monkey

Yeah I have havocs now, just a bit too wide for me!

The Northern Monkey

The haven is a great shout though! Sounds just about right!

I enquired Carbon Cycles about that. The stated weight on the website is correct and it has a rider weight limit of 90Kgs. I also asked for them to confirm their definition of All Mountain and I didn't get a convincing answer back. Something along the lines of "Yes this bar is suitable for all mountain bike riding".

For XC its probably fine but I was not convinced enough that it'll cope with a good battering. Maybe it was something lost in translation. You might have better luck than me if you contact them?

Got them on 2 bikes and they hit the sweet spot for me. Pretty sure I got the last one for about £40 from Merlin

The Northern Monkey

aye, they're on offer at Merlin for £35 so taken the plunge... bargain!
