Not sure. But Suck little sweep would hurt my wrists. My Gravity 777 flat bars have 10 degrees of backsweep, and it feels perfect.

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)

Hey guys, just to clear things up, the bars are double and not triple butted as the info Si was given states. Cheers Wayne 2twenty0

Lixchen123 (Nov 23, 2009 at 5:42)

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.

CraiGee (Nov 23, 2009 at 8:44)

2These are triple butted bars with 7075-T6, 780mm wide, 0mm rise, 4 deg upsweep, 5 deg backsweep with a 31.8mm clamp diameter.

Oh, fair enough mate, wasn't trying to be sarcy, just didn't know if you had mis read it.

spaced (Nov 24, 2009 at 2:45)

Yeah that's why I'd gladly choose something other with 9-10backsweep. It's a shame because they look great.

+ 1

klopp (Nov 24, 2009 at 8:03)

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!!!

+ 1

spaced (Nov 24, 2009 at 8:06)

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?

+ 5

bunkey (Nov 23, 2009 at 8:49)

if its called a 0.5" rise, then its not flat.

CraiGee (Nov 23, 2009 at 8:54)

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

killerbikeman (Nov 23, 2009 at 9:09)

i think the Atlas Fr bar looks way better IMO and are longer by 5mm

+ 1

bunkey (Nov 23, 2009 at 9:19)

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