Thinking of some slightly wider bars. Mid rise prob 700-710mm ish. Don't particularly want to cut them down if I can avoid it and don't want to go up to 750mm
Lightish if possible - for general xc & trail center stuff. I'm a heavyish rider though - prob 16 stone fully kitted (I've got a heavy rucksack - honest!)
Easton Haven seem the obvious choice, but they seem pretty hardcore and I wondered if there was something a bit lighter (and maybe cheaper) that may be suitable? Or as a bit of a fat knacker are the Havens the wisest choice?

I have those. They are lighter than the ones I originally had on, put my hands in the right place and the other bits bolt on to them. They are spot on.0

Haven's are hardly hardcore and actually are 5g lighter claimed than those sonic linked. Personally I swear by easton stuff, great product and extremely well made.0
