Any recommendations - normally go for monkeylites but any other recommendations?

Not cheap (shop around at the likes of Merlin to get them at a reasonable price) but I like Ritchey Superlogic, got them on both hardtail and full sus.

I've got a pair of Haven Carbons on my 29er and Havoc carbons on my Nomad. Both bars feel great and work well holding my controls in the right place. The sweep and bend feels perfect for me.

Haven Carbons weighed only 170g, Havocs 234g

2 mates of mine have got Truvativ Noir risers and they look very nice. They are a good shape too from the short ride I've had on them.

I like the look of the Ritchey WCS carbon range of bars, but they don't go very wide (I think 660mm).

I have a pair of monkeylites £15 plus post.
Few scuffs, and a bit of brake lever clamp squish (underneath) see 2nd and 3rd pics below. Only selling as I have fallen foul of the fashion. Wide bars..

Anywhere in the UK have the Haven bars in stock?
Googled them, but can't find any in stock.

Very happy with my Monkeylights. Have had numerous big rock interfaces with nothing more than a scratch to show for it

Happy with my RF Next SL's - same dimensions as the Six C's above and feel spot on.

Went from Monkeys to RF SixC- really like them. Wide enough and quite low.

A bit different again, but Mt Zoom get my vote, nice shape, very light and good value.

Salsa Pro Moto - I was always an Easton man and initially got these as I rode for Salsa, but have since bought several for other bikes.

Same as Oink, I bought the syncros ones last week and thus far they feel great. Look rather swish too!
