Heavier then Haven carbon bars and I trust Easton more

Enve DH is heavier than the Havens but not the Havocs. Havens are only 711mm so it depends how wide of a bar you need. Havocs are 750mm and Enves are 800mm

Also enve is made in 'Mercia. Take that Easton

Enve rims are made in 'merica everything else is Taiwan sourced.

This would be the big reason I want Enves. They would go nicely with my 'Merican Intense and 'Merican Thomson stem and 'Merican 110 headset (and partially 'Merican Fox fork).

Are you sure Fox is still made here? As mentioned above Enve rims are made here everything else is out sourced including the bars.
I was actually comparing the regular Enve bars to the Haven bars. They are pleanty wide for am. This is not a dh forum. Also I have heard of Enve dh bars breaking and have not heard of Haven or Havoc carbons breaking. The Haven carbon is stronger and lighter then the previous Monkey Lite DH bars.

I disagree that 700mm-711mm is plenty wide for am (it all depends on the size of the rider). 800mm would be too wide but that's why they come with markings for cutting them down. I currently run 745mm bars and I wouldn't go any narrower.
