Options for trail and peak riding.

1) Renthal Fat Bar and Duo Stem
2) Sunline V1 stem and bar
3) Easton Haven bar and stem
4) Easton Havock bar and stem (is this DH only)

Thank you and sorry for the numerous posts in advance

easton havoc bar and stem FTW

sunline v1 bars are excellent – would buy them every time now. Stems are stems; as long as they’re pretty stiff and the right length, it’s just what you think looks best.

Renthal bars, because the sweep and lift is just right 😀 and they’re that crazy greeny goldy colour

Loco, 20mm rise?

No mine are 10mm (I think by the look of them) run with a very low stem

Colour is one reason I wouldn’t have the Renthals, that and the naff logos.

Havocs for me, ta.

That should have had an ironic 😉 at the end as not fussed about colour or decals just that they work, which the Fatbar does admirably for me compared to the the other two which I’ve also had and they just weren’t quite ‘right’ personal choice though 😉 (non ironic wink) 😀

Any of those would do fine I am sure

Im running carbon haven bars with the havoc stem,

Carbon havens are, IMO, pretty much the Ultimate Bar. Good width, very good weight, and as strong as the old Monkeylite DH. Which was fall-off-the-back-of-a-fort-william-gondola-and-bounce strong.

Stems you don’t need to agonise over, pick a pretty one. No reason to spend much. Wouldn’t choose any of the ones you list myself, Gusset Staff or Pro FRS are my 2 of choice- light, strong, cheap.
