750mm bars on a 70mm stem. Plenty of trees here too and don't have an issue any more often than I used to with 685mm bars.

90 x 660
110 x 600
my hardtail (genesis core) came with 70mm and 680 but i'm currently running 50 and 720 which i like a lot better. i'm 5'6 but was reccomended a 17.5 frame and the more i've read the more i think i should have got a 16 (which the lbs didnt have for me to try) my theory is the short stem despite looking slightly wrong makes the cockpit length more similar to the smaller size. it's certainly made the bike feel a lot more "chuckable"
climbing wise on road it's made no difference, it is hard to keep the front wheel down on steep off road ascents but i think thats partly my newbie lack of technique/in-experience and i'm not sure i found it any easier with the old stem/ combo
800mm bars with a 40mm stem on the Mega
710 12mm rise on 55mm stem on both my enduro/AM bikes - I'm 5'8" with shortish arms so anything wider just feels all wrong.
Just about to take delivery of a Whyte 29er and expect I'll be tweaking position a bit to get something similar......
About 720. Got some nukeproof warheads and ran them full width. After a few rides I noticed my hands wandered in a bit on the gips so I trimed them down to where my hands seemed to naturally want to hold
710s on a 100mm stem.
