Race Face Turbine? Lovely looks, well built and light enough for XC duties but strong enough for All Mountain.

Bars are available in a bunch of colours too.

Mt Zoom do nice bars, crazy light flat bars and their risers are light and a good shape.

I use a New Ultimate stem which is great, but rather pricey, sure you can do worse than KCNC.

With looking at Rotor stems for a bit of lightweight bling. Very stiff too.

I love my Race Face Sixc carbon bars, 725mm width I think, low rise.

Just perfect for shredding the all-mountain gnar.

I ride sunline v1 for both, very nice but if I were buying now I'd go renthal the stem is a work of art and I like the colour (they feel very similar to sunline bars)

What width were you thinking of getting? I found that a lot of bars I would have considered weren't available in the width I was looking for.
