flat xc handlebar

[tinchy]

Im after a flat bar for my xc bike and by flat I mean flat.

Sweep is fine but has to be flat from end to end - seems so many bars are branded as flat but actually have rise.

Appreciate any input

Doesn't Enve make a totally flat bar?

I've got the Thomson carbon flat bar on my bike.

Easton EC70 is the carbon flat bar I use.

Syntace Vector Carbon. Not super light, but it will survive. 740mm, too.

I have an fsa bar. 110g too. Quite like the hylix flat bar and stem combo i am putting on my single speed.

Totally flat Syntace here as well.

Mt. Zoom makes a couple with 0 rise and super light.

mt zoom 720mm flat bar user here, great bar and light

3T Flat 720, if you like almost totally straight bar, only 3 deg. back sweep, or 3T Flat 740 with higher back sweep angle.
Both are available in several versions with different weights.

Another vote for the Thomson XC bar, it is very, very good.

savechief - Thanks for the feedback on the Thomson bar. I've always loved their stems and seat posts. Bummer their not made in the U.S., but what is? ENVE is just too costly for my wallet....

Even enve bars are not made in the US. Only their rims.

The thomson bar is not light- but it is STIFF.

+1 on Thomson X-Country 730mm flat bar. Stiffer than Syntace, Easton and Enve.

Thomson is awesome. 6° and bomb proof. 730 is sort of the perfect with (imo/for where and how I ride)

Easton ea90 9° 720 are stupid light, super comfortable but they will break. I'm 61 kg and managed to break two sets. Still have the Thomson running strong. I'm not a particularly strong dude or hamfisted either.
