I've got Sunline V3's. I wanted to try some wider bars and these are great value. <£30
I've seen quite a few people recommend the V1, which can be had for <£50.

Got Sunline V3s too in 25mm rise. Great bar at a great price. Using a 25.4mm clamp my options were more limited than OS clamp.

Yep, that was one of my considerations, as I wanted a wide bar, but didn't want to get a new stem as well...
They come in O/S as well.

In need of wider bars too. Was looking at these in a shop the other weekend

http://www.nukeproof.com/handlebars/warhead-riser-bar

Very impressed, nice and light as well. About £50 rrp, but you can always get a discount if you ask nicely. Stems and seatpost were quite tasty too. I know whats on my birthday list this year.

I have sunline V1s (710mm) which I really like. I may get some V1 flat bars for my hardtail when I get round to building it - they're doing them at All terrain for £40.

I have some Holzfellers which are 700mm but still ain't wide enough. They were cheap as chips and nails hard.

Anything sub-730mm isn't wide. 😉

You want some 760mm Nukeproofs.

I've got Sunline bars on all my bikes. I was amazed at how much difference they made; the width just seemed to make the bikes more fun to ride. I am occasionally a bit wary of the gap between the trees but have only come a cropper once, and I am sure that was partly due to my rubbish riding and/or eyesight!

Wednesdays Edinburgh nightride one of the lads had wide bars. I did relish the bit of twisty singletrack between the trees. Muffled curseing ensued as he couldnt get thru one of the bits. 🙂

I picked up a set of Funn Fatboys for less than £50. At 710mm wide and less than 280g, they've transformed how my Enduro handles.

My "big" bike has 760mm Nukeproofs, again for less than £50 and for roughly 300g aren't bad at all.
