[Closed] easton haven or nukeproof warhead bars?

Got nukeproof today. Feel like wide alloy bars. £45 crc. No brainer.

The swede knows nothing , Havens where its at 😆

760mm for £45 blows your haven crap out of the water and the havens seam to be real slow down hill 😉

Can I throw a wildcard into the room and suggest the Renthal Fatbars? The come in wide (780mm I think), but I've cut mine down to 720mm.

Out of those two I'd go for the Nukeproofs, basically because they are wider and there is more room to cut them down to the width you want.

There's lots out there to choose from but I'd challenge anyone to find a lighter wider bar for cheaper than the nukeproofs.

havens seam to be real slow down hill

at 170g theres none of your nukeproof flab for gravity to pull you down
hill 😛

another option that Swede and me have both used is easton monkey lite
dh risers , bril bars .

I think you will find they are a tad heavier than that mate 😀

Ragley Wiser? 720mm and sub 200g carbon for under £80.

Monkey lites DH only available in high rise 711 though which is why they have been replaced with the wide low boys. For sale for £40 Hugh if you wana try them.

To throw another contender into the mix, Answer Pro Taper here, new 2011 ones are looovely and come in 720(AM) or 780(DH) widths. I went for these (780DH) over the Nuke Proofs as they come in a 1/2" rise which is perfect.

The Easton Haven Carbon Riser bar is Easton's lightweight all-mountain composite bar, with a full 711mm of bike controlling width. At 170 grams it's seriously lightweight, with a 20mm rise and five-degree sweep to keep you riding low and loose. The ultimate hardcore handlebar.

CheesybeanZ - the OP said aluminium Havens. They are a lot heavier.

Cheesy, the phrase you're looking for is" I'll get my coat" 😀

😆

i`ll get my coat ..........

crikey they do the Nukeproof in 800mm too!

Have seen lots of sub 700m bars for the weight the 760s are coming in at.

Nukeproof are nice bars,get them from here for under £40

Dam dam dam. Fiver cheaper. Bargain. Dam.

How do you measure rise? I have the Easton cnt that came in the five performance pack, I like there low rise but want something wider.

Are the 20mm rise nukeproofs about the same rise as my Easton monkey lite cnt thingies?

Just fitted the Easton Haven Carbon 11's, not had chance to test them yet, incredibly light though.

Measure from the centre of the bar clamp directly upwards until it's in line with the centre of the part you put the grips on. They're normally done in half inch increments.

"low rise" is *normally* 1" or 1/2"

Oh and another thing: CRC have (or at least had) Blackspine flats at 800mm for under £40. very good bars, come in a load of anodised colours as well.
