Do hybrid bikes have varying size widths of handlebars? Or is there a standard size?

    They vary, but between 580 and about 620 probably covers 90% or more of those being sold.

    Thanks for that. What are the pros and cons of the varying lengths please?

    Narrower is more manoeuvrable in traffic and slightly less stable, but in reality it's what suites the rider that matters and only you can decide that.
