On both my DJ and FR bike I run the Answer 780 DH and the AM bike has the 740AM bar also from Answer… Like the Syncros they are pretty wide. I prefer on the FR bike now with the Dorado as flat as possible on the bar. And using just the rise of the stem to set me on the bike.

So true soezgg! Wider bars do equal more control. I run 28″ bars with 1/2″ plugs in the end of them and they rock when it comes to control, but I also have a 50mm rise. Not too interested in the flat bars.

Nice review. Good point you make about the width. The wider the bars the more torque you have in your steering and this torque is generally perceived as “control.” Or so I’ve read…
