I've been looking for something like this too. I think the only ones I've found are controltech ones on crc but I can't spend over £100 on bars. I'm sticking with my wide nuke proofs for the time being that aren't that heavy

Might have to kick the idea and get some aluminum bars. 710-750 ish not to heavy and low and wide, any good one's about.

I'm running Nuke proof warheads with the 19mm rise. 750mm but I've cut em down to 730. Might go down to 710 but that will be it. 280g but less than that once chopped down. Sweep and rise is spot on.

I'm running onza carbons 760mm versions. They do have some alu inside too. The rise is fairly minimal. Designed for trials but I threw them on the xc bike when I stopped riding trials. Personally I love them and makes the whole bike ride much more lively. Not particularly light at 285g but built for abuse. British company too.

Not the downhill ones, they are wider but more money I think.

The raceface ones on the front page look pretty good.

I like the look of the raceface ones. How much do they weigh and where's cheap.
