Best value high rise (50-100) bars with 10-16 degrees backsweep

mk.ultra · May 10, 2024

Found these as well but it seems like they're discontinued and only available in 25.4 clamp diameter now. Anyone have experience using shims on a trail bike?

800mm, 70 rise, 12 back, 5 up - pretty much perfect dimensions IMO

I run shims (31.8 bar in a 35mm stem) on both a park/DH bike and my 140 trail bike and have for years. It’s a non-issue.

That’s along the lines of what I’m thinking, but it looks like that’s only available up to 740mm wide. I run 800 mm bars, but would consider trying a taller 780 mm bar.

I have become backsweep curious after seeing this thread and another where a link to a you tube video discusses the natural difference in the angle of your hands.

I didn't want to spend too much in case this is not the solution for my hand numbness. I looked at the SQ Labs and the Longhorn above. I found a really cheap bar on Amazon for $21.00 with 12 degree backsweep. Made of aluminum and 780 wide. I figured t was worth a try.

Check out Stooge. I'm running their Moto nar which is 38mm rise 17 degrees backsweep. They have some other options with more rise.

I am running it on my Nordest and it's fantastic. However, looking for cheaper options with higher rise and a bit less sweep for other bikes. I'll probably try out the Bucklos bar eventually, almost always amazed at the quality for price from AliExpress.

These look fantastic for the price. Pretty much spot on geo. Would love to see how they look on your bike!

Finally installed them. +820 grams from the sunline V1 + FSA stem I removed. Made a 22.2-25.4 shim from a small piece of 1" 063 DOM tubing I had. I've had the Quamen stem in my parts box since 2005...

Now I need to find the same frame, but one size up.

Thank you for the photos! I waffled on these (and Chromoly bars in general) for a couple weeks and eventually decided I'd rather not pay money to add a significant amount of weight for the sake of aesthetics
