I for one have found similar bars (fleegle) to be a great help.
Ordinary bars cause me to get numb hands, but the fleegles put the wrists in a more comfortable position and i can steer better for longer.

ive used mary’s and Jones, and find the sweep to much, ive allways said id prefer 25 deg sweep, i even asked Jeff jones to make me some, he said no…….. so these could be perfect for what i was looking for, if they have no rise……..

mary bars are great for offroad riding i may experience anyways . they were more comfy than normal bars much better on the wrists on rocky downs

having ridden with midge, mary, nitto tache and salsa bell lap i think we should start a band we’d sound proper rock and roll

I’m pretty sure that the Nukeproof stems/posts/riser bars are pre-Brant

Brant makes exacly the same product for CRCs own brand (thats all nukeproof is) and churns it out for twice the price. Look at the seatpost, its the same as a on- one one!

I’ve ridden risers and Mary bars. I didn’t feel any more or less in control on descents or technical stuff with the Mary bars than with the risers.

personally i think hbar, mary and fleegle are the only bars that are ergonomically correct. the shape of the hand dictates the grips should point back and slightly down. obviously risers make your elbows stick out fore ‘more’ control / less comfort. i really don’t think fleegles reduce control and they are WAY comfier. mary’s may be a bit extreme but are still very comfy over long rides.

“bars like this are a real hinderance to your ability to ride down a hill properly, or in technical stuff”

I must be a riding god then, as they (2 x Mary bars & 1 x H-Bar) don’t hinder me, in fact straight bars feel so un-natural after 4 years of riding with bars like these I don’t feel safe downhill on “normal” bars.

Don’t knock what you don’t know anything about or that you haven’t tried and tested.
