Hi,I'm looking for some 700mm+ flat bars with a maximum backsweep of 5 degrees.Can anyone recommend any?
Thanks.

I like Raceface Atlas and Renthal Fatbars. Cheaper alternatives are available but I like the quality finish and strength of these.

Cant go wrong with Race Face and whilst I've never used Renthal, they've been making moto bars for decades and you never hear a bad word about their MTB bars. Others to consider are Easton, Thomson and Answer. What's your budget and what type of riding do you mainly do Brock?

Around about £50 and will be for my commuter/local woodland trails,nothing too extreme!

Just fitted these. Scary light. Looked for ages, only bar i could find with the width but no rise and 5 degree sweep.

Forget my suggestions. There are much lighter options to bettee suit your use.

Assuming you have a 31.8mm stem, these two Race Face bars would be a good bet as both are flat with 5°sweep. Under budget too without being too cheap.

If they're not to your liking here's all the other flat bars of 700mm and over (you can chop any that are 700+). You'll have to check sweep though.

Personally I'd go for the Evolves

I've got the Mt Zoom ones, they're excellent. Mine came to 117g too.

Not bad at double the OPs budget

Ha, do you know I didn't see that bit!

Exotic? Slightly over budget, and slightly more sweep than specced, but look good.

Yeah they do look pretty swish!

Carbon Cycles do a carbon 710mm flat bar for £60 but they're showing no stock right now (oh is that the exotic one you're talking about? ^^)
