Girly Riser Bars

Hi all.
My girlfriend's Diamondback DBR1 (very pink) came with flat xc bars. After a year with it she's looking for a slightly more relaxed ride position and therefore some good xc riser bars.
Anyone got any recommendations?

hilarious that they link the grips that you need and then list them as discontinued :roll:Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day0 -

I bought a good set of RaceFace Deus XC bars for my rockhopper, came in a package deal with a stem. They have quite a good rise and a little sweep on them so will be ideal if she's stretching to reach on her existing bar setup. Pretty light too so would recommend them. Not women specific though - get thin grips!0

Thanks for the tips. The chainreaction ones look good. Hmmm "hellcat" Unfortunately they only seem to be available in one clamp size - the wrong one for the 31.8 mm stem on her bike. She just ordered some WTB XC ones from wiggle so we'll see how she gets on with them. Thanks again...Scott Genius MC30

Must admit..I did think that was particularly crap of CRC to stock the Hellcat bars and not the women specific grips..atleast you can still get them elsewhere! :roll: Glad you are sorted though..0

Mrs Matt went the other way - her Rockhopper came with risers, she stuck flats on!0
