Commencal bar upgrade

Posts: 32
I have a Commencal Meta 5.5.2 and have been advised that I need to upgrade the bars to gain maximum benefit from this lovely beast. Can anyone advise me which bars would best suit this particular bike (i.e. make and model) and the best place to buy....
Cheers

PS: MBR rated this bike 10/10- the only negative comment was related to the bars- Commencal's own (I must admit I'm not totally sure why)

How much you got to spend? What do people say about the originals and why?

From memory, MBR said there was not enough rise.
As for money..no idea- don't mind spending a bit for the right bars.0 -
Thing is, if you like them, then I would just keep on using them! MBRs comment is just one of many: I am sure some riders here of this machine will tell you there own preference, and in the end its down to you. Any spacers above your stem you can swap round?
OnOne and raceface make some good bars worth looking at: my personal; favourite is the Answer Carbon for 50 quid.

Cheers for the advice- I must admit, I'm happy with them, just don't want to be missing out on anything- will check out the bars you suggest.0

Bugger, it was at Merlin, but an Ebay dealer was knocking them out too.
