I’d pay the extra fir one up judging from the majority of comments, but just can’t be bothered with a new stem as well. That will double the price compared to the NP.
I've found the Nukeproof carbon bars really comfortable. Mine are cut to 720 cos i'm short and old!
9 degrees backsweep and 4 upsweep. Great that they go forward a tad before the backsweep.
How’s the finish on OneUp and Nukeproof? My last race face pair only needed you to look at them the wrong way to mark them.
Also, with the way the Nukes sweep back, does it effect reach a great deal? I was going to get a 50mm stem but they do a 45mm.
The V2 Nukes sweep forward a tad before sweeping back so have a similar reach to a 6 degree bar. Your grips will be in the same position so same 50mm stem.
Yup, it's pretty clever, basically means you can change the shape tons without changing stem. Though I somehow convinced myself that's a selling point even though I already have literally the shortest stem I can have fitted
Heads up, CRC have put the NP ones back to fill price £109 but Wiggle still have at £77.

I have the nukeproof bough specifically for the extra sweep without extra reach as I like my stem.
They are very comfy. They do an alloy version the same geometry too.
I tried some cheap alloy 9degree back sweep bars today to see how they feel.
With the Nukeproofs going forwards a tad before sweeping back would the reach be any different from a normal 9degree bar?
It’s either the Oneups of NP V2 bars.
Nukeproofs arrived and look great, lovely finish and subtle graphics.
Fitting this week, BPW Monday, so I’ll see how they feel with some chunky silicon grips. I broke my wrist badly and my right hand is still a bit weak so I’m hoping this set up will help.

Yeah, that's what the shape's for- it lets them change the backsweep without changing hand position.
