Hi, wondered if anyone can verify the length.

Google and stockists spout 780mm, whereas a mag review and the American site states 740mm???

Does anyone know the official length ?

Cheers

Kev

740mm - Fatbar Lite
780mm - Fatbar.

I've just got Fatbar carbons on my big bike and they have been out on 3 proper rides now and feel really great. Went out today on the hardtail and the bars (Easton Havens) felt disconcertingly narrow... Bought some Fatbars on the way home, fitted them and just went for a spin and they felt instantly 'right'!

I won't be going back to narrower bars! I do have a 72" span though!

Beaten to it...

@ jamj are the bars super stiff or are they a bit compliant...

They feel as stiff as my alloy havens but seem to filter out buzz a bit better. Certainly don't feel flexy.
