Looking for a nice and wide set of bars with a high rise 31.8 to go with my meta 6. Any suggestions?

Hey how'd you get that picture of me lol! I was thinking around 720mm or wider. Not carbon, I don't think they could take my crashing!

Those Nuke Proof look good and not stupidly expensive! Now I want the matching stem. Cheers.

I second the Nukeproof bars. I have 2 of them at 760mm on my full suss and slightly cut down to 740mm on the hardtail. Pretty light, not too expensive and a nice feel to the shape.

Burgtec. Mine are great they add so much control and feel loads better than the 660s that are on my HT. I have the 750x20 and love them.

I've high-rise Sunline V2's on my On One, 711mm wide. They are heavy at 340g but I bought them to try wider bars, on the cheap.

Just need to find a pair of Brants Ti bars now...

Cripes, how long are your arms!? I sometimes find 685 a handful on tight overgrown trails.

CRC also do some nice Azonic ones at 765mm. I got the double wall ones. I think they were around £32-£36. So much better if you're broad-shouldered...

The 3 i would look at would be!

Burgtec - awesome feel, shape and warranty.
Renthal - There products are amazing. What do they not know about making bars?

I've just bolted some new pro-tapers to my dh bike to but am yet to try them. Feel like the Burgtecs but 2cm wider. I have trimmed them though!

i really like the burgtecs. Also has nukeproofs and they're really good for the money.

i'd really like some of the new pro tapers but they never seem to do 31.8 mount!

Does anyone make a wide carbon bar? like a 710mm with 31.8 mount....
