I'm after some nice wide bars and need some ideas please. At the moment i have EA70's (685mm) and whilst i love the shape i want to try something wider as my hands are constantly at the ends of the bars.

I'm not looking for anything super light but they will be used for XC/trail riding so nothing too hefty. 750mm ish ideally as i can then cut them down if needed.

Sunline V3 from CRC @ £20. 711mm of loveliness!

Nukeproof warhead, 760mm and they have marks on them indicating the size if you want to cut them down.

Another vote for the Nukeproof. I have a set of Sunline V2's (711mm) also and much prefer the Nukeproof.

I bought some of the Raceface Atlas FR reviewed on the front page.
780mm, damn damn stiff and maybe a bit much for long rides. Just a bit too wide I reckon. But the colour is crazy, not so much orange but more like 'extreme copper' 🙂

Isn't that where they're meant to be? 🙂
