Yeah, if they feel good, then keep them narrow, you'll be better off in them tight places 
Personally feel cramped on narrow bars, I've got wide shoulders though, so I think that is the reason.

Damn, you sure love Specialized don't you? 
Good to see you on a more capable bike again Have you fully recovered?

Great! Guessing you've ridden an Alu Demo as well, do you notice any difference between the two?

Only ridden a Alloy Demo 2x .. about 2 years ago! Can't tell you atm, will visit the bikepark hopefully on the weekend! But my colleauge met a guy which had the S-Works and he said that he didn't wanted carbon at first, now he has got it and its way faster out of corners etc in his opinion.. i'm curious about it!

Rode it today! Such a sick bike, it's amazing. Compared to the SX Trail its completely different to ride! Geometry feels awesome in my opinion!!

Great! So tempted to try out one myself 
Love my TR250 so much though! Got my Ti spring for it, next up some lime coloured Chromag OSX bars and Odi Rogue grips. Will also apply new crank and fork stickers. Then I can't think of anything more to upgrade

Also did a jump which i haven't attemped before with it an overshooted it extremely, landet in the flat +one meter after the transition from the landing to flat, but i'm ok! If you can try one, go for it! There's a reason why so much people ride Demo's! Sounds great man, can't wait to see pictures of it!

Sounds great! So jealous of your bike So any upgrades coming up? Couldn't bare the 750mm bars myself at least
Yeah, I'll post up some as soon as I receive my new bars

Upgrade: Brakes, didn't even touched the Elexir 5, put a X0 WC Trail on it (it's still a avid ). No, don't think i'll upgrade something, handling etc was so perfect! The "cheap" boxxer is 10 times smoother than the World Cup, its lighter but i would never go for a WC! Bars: Ordered the new S-Works DH Carbon bar (Completely black) for my Stumpjumper but i don't know if i should put it on the Demo or the Stumpy now..

Wanna swap them for my XTR/Saints? Love Avid
I'd personally go for Chromag, Deity Black Labels, RF Atlas/Sixc or Loaded AMX, all will survive a nuke, are nice to look at and are all available in cool colours

I'd love to! Scratched them yesterday when i landed in the flat! 
But i'll go with them for now and then go for Hope or Shimano. They actually feel great, but i think they won't feel great a long time.. I'd also go for Enve but they seem to give a shit about europe! We ordered a few times (last time a year ago) but.. no, they won't deliver it. Never had problems with Speci bars so i'll go for the S-Works one, it's carbon, price is really good (compared to enve) and its stealth!!

Yeah, Enve would look sick on your's! But if they're hard to get, then no point in trying. Only problem I have with Spec is that they're too narrow for my liking, 750 right?
Love the feel of Avids, but bit worried of them in the long run. Had Elixir 7:s on my previous bike, used them a year without any problems at all, while my friend's XO caliper melted or something like that

Yeah, 750. I'm really ok with that, rode it on my SX, my Stumpi and now on the Demo! Im feeling pretty fine with them, may i should try 780.. next season! All new (2014) Demo's now have got 780 out of the box! Also 2.5! Butcher tires, not 2.3"! Yeah, they don't last long, we had so much reclaims this year with them, you won't belive it! 1 - 5 avids a week! :/

Started with 720mm on my Enduro, felt too narrow, went to 750mm, still felt too narrow, currently have 800mm bars, but will try to switch to 780mm bars to gain some advantage in tight spots, lets see how it goes
Yeah, I hear people have had trouble with them, which is a shame because I really like the feel of them :/

800 would be too wide for me, i think, never tried them but may i go for 780, but i don't know yet because i don't have problems running the 750 and i feel good on them!
