Hairy Posted June 9, 2016 Share your bar width is perfect if, and only if, when you are riding with a #enduro sleeveless top your arms must be wide enough apart to allow your armpit hair to blow in the wind like those old Percy Montgomery shampoo commercials.

Headshot Posted June 9, 2016 Share sheesh i am riding 800mm wide bars on my Nomad with a 50mm stem, ride very tight twisty single track and never have any problems, took me a while to get use to the super wide bars but now i cant ride anything else. rode a  mates bike with 70mm bars and felt like i was going to fall on my face.Add trees and shrubs track side to that mix and it can get interesting... That said I am quite happy with my 785s. Enduro_Jakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reden Posted June 10, 2016 Share Wide bars don't always work. Second bike (me) 620mm 26" wheels. Bloke in front was not good in this narrow area and his bars caught the rock all the time. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
