SixPack Driver 780 Flat Bars
by Simon Paton
Nov 23, 2009
Is everyone going flat these days? The debate still continues over on the forums, tracks, uplifts and in the ring. First it was Chromag, then Kore, Element, Reverse, Sunline and now SixPack has stepped into the ring. No doubt more contenders will follow in 2010.
If you are running triple clamps and minimum spacers under your stem and crown, then follow me.

These are triple butted bars with 7075-T6, 780mm wide, 0mm rise, 4 deg upsweep, 5 deg backsweep with a 31.8mm clamp diameter.
All the stats add up in the right direction. What differentiates these from the rest is of course the colours. Sixpack now have the snap on the competition who are obviously still fast asleep or should I say in a coma? Some of the top brands haven't even got a flat bar out on the market and we are nearly in 2010.
Weight is 326grams on the Pinkbike scales.
These are £53.99rrp and are available in white, black, red, grey, green and blue. If you want to ride flat bars and pimp your bike color wise, then is there another choice? If so please tell us!
Otherwise contact 2Twent0 Distribution and get yourself a set of the above.

there insane, love the colours
Not sure. But Suck little sweep would hurt my wrists. My Gravity 777 flat bars have 10 degrees of backsweep, and it feels perfect.
those bars look really cool, but i hate how they have no back sweep. too little back sweep hurts my wrists after a long day of riding.

Yeah that's why I'd gladly choose something other with 9-10backsweep. It's a shame because they look great.
agreed. the cheapest bars i have ever used are by far the most comfy for me (truvativ hussefelt comps). i wish they made these in 9 deg backsweep. that green color is awesome!!!
I'm more than happy with my current elements if you want 9deg backsweep and 760mm width with no rise. I'm rather small framed and they felt instantly great. Best puchase of the season if you don't count the preordered frame that will get me after the new year.

Is it just me or has everyone forgotten the Raceface atlas 785 bars? i know there 0.5" rise, but i thought that was still concidered flat?
Alright Mr. Blunt
I was asking a question, not stating anything, therefore you're frankly shocking attempt at making me look an idiot failed miserably

I agree, although I'd cut them down to 760mm personally. 785mm is just a bit too wide for a lot of British trails.

Hey guys, just to clear things up, the bars are double and not triple butted as the info Si was given states.

That's wack - 5 degrees? May as well use a mop handle... BOoOOoOooo! All the crappy ano colors you can think of won't change the true color of those bars - brown, as in CACA. Gravity 777s are where it's at, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I've seen a lot of articles etc about flat bars recently, and a few stated that they improve the feel when cornering. I'm building a new bike this winter and am considering trying them. I'm wondering if they'd be good for me, I'm going to build a light DH/freeride bike 7-8 inch travel with single crowns, maybe an sx trail or vp free something along those lines. I'm quite tall at 6ft4" and i sometimes feel too high up over the front end of the bike on sharp berms and turns. Does anyone who's tried flat bars have any advise for me? And are there any downsides to running them?
They're great - just make sure you get something with a good amount of backsweep (9degrees at least)
