It's £65 delivered, all decent alloy's longer than 760mm are around ~£50.
Anything bad to be said about the Knuckleball?
They often have it on offer for a lot less than 65. I've got one and it's decent.
No complaints about mine. Only swapped them because I found I liked fleegle's more.
Wait long enough and they'll be half price again.
What do you mean by 'decent'? Would you buy it again or would you for an alloy eg: Spank, Renthal?
I've got, renthal, oneone & raceface carbons, ridden all over various Enduro races, uplifts etc.
There's no difference between any of them as far as I can tell
Pretty sure I bought mine new for nearer to £30. At £65 I'd be looking elsewhere.
I got my old knuckleball for about £30 which was great value.
Now running a spank vibrocore and really liking that, got mine for £60ish. If that's your budget I'd highly recommend one
RSP Ego carbon bar. Flat around £50 for 760mm and <200g, riser around £55 for 780mm and just over 200g. No complaints from me using the flat one.
I've had various carbon bars and TBH the flexyness and dimensions/shape of the particular model you choose is more important than the brand name.
Alpkit do one for around your budget. I got one on sale end of last year. Can't comment on how good or bad it is. Not used it yet.
They've not been anywhere close to the ~£35 I paid for ages, as far as I know. The "chewy" version is great for reducing bar buzz, could notice it on rough roads compared to the default Wazoo alloys, even with the fat wheel fitted.
The only reason I wouldn't be happy paying £65 for them is because I paid £40 for the ones I have and I know Planet-X prices yoyo.
Good bars. Got some in one of the numerous sales for around £30 which is a bargain. Got the chewy's for a singlespeed rigid hardtail and they do make a difference. Definitely take out trail buzz and nice shape too.
Happy with my Knuckleball. Worth £65, I reckon, depending on what else is on sale. I also have a super-light and very nice Exotic 780mm carbon bar which was even cheaper and nicer.
I paid something like £35. Just wait for a sale there will be one soon.
Don’t look inside the bar though. It’s really rough! I lost confidence in it when I did.
Seems ok though. hasnt broken yet!
Now running a spank vibrocore and really liking that, got mine for £60ish. If that’s your budget I’d highly recommend one
I reckon the Spank vibrocore bars are brilliant. Had an Oozy on the last bike and have a Spike on the current one. There was one in the classifieds the other day (nothing to do with me) and I prefer them to any carbon bars I’ve tried. The foam stuff really does work.
Have a gander at Exotic carbon bars. Around 60 quid, a range of widths up to 800mm. I've got the 780s and I love them.
Www.Carboncycles.cc
I have the sonder (alpkit) ones and they're great
I got one of the Easton carbon ones a few years back from likely less than that. (otherwise my cheap side would have come out...).
Compared to full price Easton, it's not bad, but I do love the Easton bars.

620 wide, no rise, but 10 degree bend and cheap!
I had a pair and liked 'em, think they were about 30 quid but that was a good while ago. Only replaced them 'cos I had a nasty crash that bashed them right into the ground (enough to rotate the stem a good way around the steerer) and although they look fine I lost confidence in them a bit.
I like the Exotic, if only they didn't have that horrible website url on the left side..
620 wide, no rise, but 10 degree bend and cheap!
Yeah, real head scratcher that one...
Yeah dead right... 620 wide you say... only just wider than my stem!
Just received one of those Ritchey bars from Merlin with some other bits, to give to family member... Feels so narrow compared to my 747mm Knuckleballs, it's almost as light as my 35mm Corto stem! 😮
