I choose "ritchies" because it was cheap, & match my stem..

coz you can see and feel the technology you are paying for , brad

I have purchase dung Hbars like the copycat ringle hbar at 350 or 400 petot ....twas light but it felt dead on the trail ...you know what I mean It didnt "spring/resonate" like an Easton alum Hbar ... very different feel

[hyperion]

Easton Monkeylite XC oversized low riser bar ... nice lookin, lightweight and tough

[knobbyist]

Truvativ Hussefelt. as strong as the Amoeba Hussar high rise bar i was using before but definitely so much lighter.

[>rocketman>]

My handlebars:

1. easton monkey bar ea70 mid rise 685 mm - 2 pieces

2. easton monkey bar ea70 low rise 685 mm - with custom extension

3. answer pro taper

4. azonic pdw 2.5 inch rize 28 inch

5. easton ea30 low rise 685 mm (sold to XP)

6. easton HAVOC mid rise 711 mm (dh bike)

*all 25.4, no oversize for me,

easton all the way, it's light it's easton

because there is no thomson handle bar hehhehe

vice stem 60 mm, easton ea50 seat post 31.6 -3 pieces,

easton cully flat pedals, easton flat boy pedals

[omel]

FSA K-Force flat Xc (carbon). slightly lighter and longer than easton ec 70, has reinforced (anti crush zone) stem/brake/bar ends unlike the ec90 w/c is not bar end compatible

[arcireyes]

i'm using a Ti (kuno?) flatbar which i got (for free) from my riding buddy, ronaldarca, no issues with it whatsoever. it fits my riding personality very well, that of which is more on application than bling

[pazigrider]

i'm presently using eastons on my 2 bikes

HT - easton ea50 low rise, 25.4mm

AM - easton ea70 hi rise, 31.8mm

i'm fine using these aluminum alloy h-bars but i would like to try race face next sl carbon h-bars - perhaps 1 year from now ;D ;D ;D (it's too expensive) and i've read that race face next sl's are one of today's best carbon h-bars ;D

[pazigrider]

by the way i've also tried previously answer pro taper, amoeba scud and truvativ holzfellers h-bars they're all good and work well for me

[kaloi]

i use a very light and durable ti finish Spyros handlebar. Lighter than any of the handlebars i used like easton monkeybar, raceface carbon, fsa. much cheaper among those hbars. 'been using it for almost a year now and work very well for my xc bike

[Alphabolt]

Eastons are nice
yeah I wanna try the RF Next carbon hbars also

Im a fan of Easton and Raceface truly

OT:

I have a flat Monkeylite ...wanna swap your low rise with it? uncut very good condish 25inches

ayun! that's the one i'm using spyros Ti (finish lang pala/thanks for the enlightenment kaloi ;D )flatbars (laced with a 180 petot xoom barend from raven) very good for XC riding ;D

[mountguitars]

me, im dirt cheap so i use a straight handle bar by spyros on one of my XC rigs, an amoeba scud carbon straight bar on my FS XC, an amoeba riser bar on my trail bike, and an FSA next carbon tech on my all mountain rig (courtesy of kaloi. thanks for the good deals brad). all sizes are 25.4 so i can be as light as i can. besides, i can hardly feel my handlebars twitching anyways, hehehe. ;D.

so far im pretty happy with the raceface next carbon hbar. good thing kaloi gave it at a good price or else, i could've gotten myself those da bomb handlebars which weighs twice as much as the raceface im using. its light at 167grams and 26 inches long.

i think syntace makes longer handle bars and is freaking light at 200 grams made of alloy. a good friend was giving me a good deal on it but i had no particular use during such time. now that i have an all mountain rig, hmmm.....maybe i should try that syntace. you know what they say, longer is better. ;D

a good, cheap stem for these cheap handlebars would be the attack racing stem. CNC'd to perfection, 4mm 4-bolt face, 5mm 2 bolt steerer tube clamp, its solid, sexy and has a glossy finish and as heavy as a regular turbolite at lesser cost. unfortunately here in the philippines it only comes into sizes: 110 and 80mm. im using the 80mm on my AM bike and trail bike. works great.

***edited*** (from FSA to race face ;D)

Maxm MX5 Carbon for me and my wife's bike while my HT is using RF Next Carbon

[edge808]

OT!

@mountg

Attack Racing Stems are CNC'd? Dude, what's the weight on those? any idea?

[gabe1215]

FUNN speed freak bar... can't afford those high-end bars but im really happy with the performance. cheaper but not that heavy though.

[Arman]

I'm using Salsa Pro Moto. I feel nothing, hehehe ;D
I dont see any difference with other brands except for price weight.
