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 have some Answer carbon bars. Feel great!
the new havens/havocs look really nice...
Yeah clobber defo 🙂 a mate also siad those as well 🙂
I love my Truvativ Noirs.
USE Atom. used em for years, super stiff & strong. Not the widest though.
Very happy with my Easton Havens
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).
Looking at XC styley anyway so WCS were also a possibility 🙂
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.
toys, are they oversized or 25.4?
RF SixC bars...725mm wide, 3/4" rise
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.
And now for something completely different...
Syntace http://www.syntace.com/index.cfm?pid=3&pk=1529
10 year warranty, tested to surpass the most rigorous DH tests, lightweight, excellent quality and feel to them too
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.
+1 for Use Atom. £59 from Winstanleys. Very nice finish to them.

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.
GB
i have two pairs if monkeylites and one pair of Raceface but needed another pair for a new build,
USE atom, just as pretty as all the above but only 64 quid, bargain, have 4 USE Sumo carbon seatpins and
they are so good i knew the bars would be ok, no problems
I have a set of these - nice and wide and on my scales were 186g

just got some ragley wiser bars - would reccomend em. Only 70 quid too!
Hmm food for thought 🙂
Same as Oink, I bought the syncros ones last week and thus far they feel great. Look rather swish too!
