Ok so I have been searching and cant seem to find what i am looking for so I was hoping for some help.

I am looking for:

28 in wide
1.5 rise or less
25.4 clamp
fairly light < 300g
not carbon
and lastly, long clamp area to run levers far enough inboard

I have some Azonic double walls and they are close (kind of heavy and small clamp area) and the FUNN full ons seem like they might work but i cannot find a pair to check out...

Any thoughts??



BTW why do bars get taller as they get wider?? This is opposite of what works. Wide bars go on big bikes, big bikes have tall forks, tall forks need low bars. Heck if i could find some 28 inch flat bars, i would be stoked..

The only brand I know of that makes 28 inch wide bars is Azonic.

28" is basically 710mm... there are a number of companies that make that width... finding a 710mm 1" holzfeller is the trick... like looking for a needle in a haystack (online at least)...

Funn "Full On" bar.

30mm rise, 710mm width, 7075 T6 triple butted.

super nice bar, I ran one last year.

(I am asuming you are talking about pro tapers as hyperlites are flat xc carbon bars...)

Unfortunately, Pro tapers are only avalable in 1" rise by 24" or 2 " rise by 26" wide.

according to the truvativ website, the 710 x 1" holzfeller is only available in 31.8 clamp.

aaarrrgh!!

Yea there are many bars that are 'almost' what I want
but I was hoping to find one that had all of these qualities... so far maybe the Full On..anyone know how much they weigh for real?

it sounds like your describing the SIC RACE bar,
28"
1.5 rise,
25.4 clamp
long clamp area for breaks.

THATS THE bar im using, i had the same search criteria you had. But, I just ran into a problem as the bar seems not to have such a large clamp area. No dice using the new e-13 boxxer bolt on stem, clamp area is JUST too short.

 

[davep]

Hey, Thanks for all of the input everyone. I think i am going to try the funn's as I can get them cheap and the SIC bars are about $90, a little steep in my opinion.

 

[heikkihall]

Good choice! The 30mm rise Funn Full On bar is the best bar that I have ridden to date. It fits the criteria that you are looking for perfectly and the rake/ sweep feel awesome too.

 

[Orfen]

Aren't the Funn bars pretty heavy?

How about the 25mm or 35mm Truvativ Holzofeller?

 

[sayndesyn]

Holzfeller 1" rise is perfect. Like Paul said they are friggin rare. I'll start the bidding on mine at 2500 Turkish Lira.

 

[ChrisRobin]

FSA makes them 28" wide. I'm not sure about the rise but they're failry light (they weigh a little more than my Easton ea50s...not that they're super light either).

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I beleive Chromag bars are similar to what you are looking for. I run a set on my Ventana and they are awesome, and not to heavy.

 

[davep]

So the FUNN's are on order and should be here early next week. I will weigh them when they arrive.

The truvativ's are only available in 31.8 (another stupid 'new' standard in my opinion, read easton's opinion on 31.8), the FSA's are very far from light at ~400 grams for the 28" bar and I have never seen any chromag bars and there is very little info out there about them but they are the right specs...
