685 flats with bar ends on - that's plenty wide enough - can't stand the feel of wider bars.

710 KCNC low risers on the Stumpy FSR. Only recently bought them and still waiting a while before I decide to cut them down or not. They feel fine, but perhaps a smidge wide.

Not sure how wide the bars on the Inbred are. I had Sunline V3's which are 710mm but they were too wide when I'm using it on the road. I went back to the RF Deus I had on originally and they are cut down a bit - probably about 650mm & suit the bike well.

560 scandiums on my carbon fitness compensator, which feel much better to me than the 660s they replaced. But then I'm an ex roadie and spent most of my life on 42cm drops.

720 lowrise on the HT, 750 on the DH. Funny thing is wider, lower bars and shorter stem on the HT made it turn better, decend better and actually climb better, alot to do with lower Centre of Gravity I guess.

I'm 6ft and can carry a 12inch dia 8ft log on each shoulder for 0.5km in 4 minutes. I also wrestle with grizzly bears and eat broken glass.

745mm on mountain bike, 711 on commuter. Anything narrower feels twitchy.

710mm and I'm a reasonably diddy 5'4", have been gradually widening over the last few years ... am thinking a wee bit wider and then I'll be done. 😉

Recently went from 685 to 760 Nukeproofs. Much better for me, downhill especially.

Have gone progressively wider over the past year

610mm > 685mm > 710mm

710mm feels spot on but get scarily close to trees on occasions. They also won't fit through the anti-motorbike bridleway narrow gates round here, like this one.

the OP made his choice and purchased new bars half way through the last page. (not that any of you will read this post either 😉 )

Good to see STW is still ranking nice and high on the Autistic scale!
