lightest flat bar with sweep
- Thread starter Kntr
- Start date
chromag fubar and spank spike 777 are two that come to mind
The RF Atlas isn't flat, but if you roll it forward, it is almost flat and has a nice upsweep.
Worth looking at.

SYNCROS.
FL Flat Carbon = 145g - 5° sweep
FL Flat 7075 = 180g - 9° sweep
AM Flattop (7075) = 274g - 10° sweep

salsa pro-moto carbon 29" wide 11 deg i believe.
The FL flats are only 600mm wide... not wide enough.
i have the pro moto flat bars in aluminum on my cross/commuter bike. 268g, not superlight, but has a nice price/weight ratio. i haven't been able to find a carbon flat bar over 700mm. the new crank brothers bars may also fit your needs.
I wish I could tell you the weight of the Chromag Fubar OS flat bars, but they aren't available until the middle of May. 736mm (29 inches) Site says 305 grams, but that's not bad, especially if they're going on your SS. I'm getting a pair for my trail bike.
There is Element Technic Nickel Wide Flat Bar

One buddy has it just under 300g, but other one's is 322g.
If 760mm is too wide, You can always cut it.

That is probably the closest you are going to get to what you want.
Also, let me get this straight. You are counting grams of a handlebar on an all mountain bike... Which just so happens to have a coil shock with steel spring, hammerschmidt, chunky railed saddle, 2.5" dual-ply dh tires and unnecessary 8 ball valve caps (theres 10-15g of rotational weight right there)? We are probably talking a 100g (0.220462 lb) range on an easily 35lb bike (0.6% of the overall weight). I say go with what fits the bill as far as size, sweep and budget... Grams are a borderline lost cause at this point. Color may actually be more important based on the amount of stoke gained from having snazzy bars.
Well, to each their own. Good luck.
NOTE: It is Friday and I don't want to be at work.
Yes, coil shock with ti spring after pic was taken-lost 200g
Yes, AM HS-I love it.
Yes, 8 ball caps-my 7 yo daughter likes em
Rocket V ti seat-215g so not chunky
single ply 2.5 Minions-880g
bike is 33.5 lbs right on the nose
Back to the bars. The Deity bars are 300g and feel a little tall on the bike. I figured if I am going to change the bars Id like to get a sub 200g bar and lose 100-150g while Im at it.
Remember that you will lose some weight off the super wide bars when you cut them down. So something around 300g and 780 length will be say 260 at 680mm
True, true.
But the REAL specs on the 777 are on their website.

the salsa moto people mentioned before is exactly what you need i have them on my xc and am bike and they are really strong...
def check them out, i prefer the flat turned up, just like the ride position.

17* bend/sweep?! wow! how does it look?

680mm?????
Really. Does anybody even make a bar that narrow?
I'm shopping to replace my 710s on my trail bike because they feel too narrow.
785 is perfect IMO.
A wide bar needs to be heavy. I think you're going to have a hell of a time finding a flat bar that light.
actually mine are 11 i turn them up like a trials/riser just goofly like that but i love how they ride...
the 17's are odd...
There are TONS of flat XC bars narrower than 680mm.
I said 680mm+. I want something bigger than 680mm. Most flat bars that are longer than 680mm are over 300g. Most bars under 680mm are 150g and too light for an AM bike. See what Im saying. There is really no inbetween. Ill have to go with a DH bar and cut them to AM size.
Thats what Im starting to think. I think Im going to go with the Sunline V-one OS flat bar. Its 762mm and 303g. If I cut it down to 700mm it should be fine and around 250g.
hey kntr
here's your bar
10mm rise and a choice of 8/9/12° sweep
209g for 740mm width

the shorter 680mm bar weighs in at 189g...

Thats pretty much what I have and I love it. Great feel, I only wish it was black or nickel.
A carbon flat bar could achieve what you want but the widest one I know of is the Salsa @ only 660mm.
You gotta either go with an aluminum one @ about 250g or a light carbon riser like the Easton Monkey Lite XC @ 20mm rise, 685mm width, 160g.

Syntace is not a flat bar, unfortunatelly.
Did you just not click on that link I posted? Am I talking to myself?
I run those on my sx trail.
Your "weight stuff all" comment made me think they are heavy so I didn't click the link. Now that I did those look perfect.
i am aware of that but 10mm rise is as good as it gets and you can correct the overall height of the stem/bar setup pretty easy...
to me this bar seems to be the best compromise
but oh well it's kntr's decision
