Renthal Fatbar, Ktm low bend. Nice and low and very little sweep aswell. Makes cornering a lot easier for me ?

Villo/Stewart.

I prefer Twinwall than fatbar. More it's stiff, wide and forward better i feel.

Windham/Reed bend is one of the least wide, right? Also isn’t too short nor too tall?

I've always been i Twinwalls man. Tried some Renthal Fatbars and Neken bars, but I'm back to a Renthal Twinall 997 with a cut crossbar for a bit more flex. Love it.

Thread revival but enjoyed reading people's thoughts, but... I have always had Renthal Twinwalls 997's & now I am having ultra sound guided injections into my wrists to help with the pain I am looking into something with more give and flex, this thread was like two years ago and might as well see what people are now going for if bad wrists like me?.

As you were....

i go with the Renthal Fatbar 604. I broke my wrist last year and this has always been good for me. Check out the Faast Flex bars. I hear nothing but good things about these for bad wrists.

Renthal Twinwall KTM Low/High depending on bar mounts. Crossbar cut, filed, duct-tapped and hidden in crossbar pad.

Prefer the KTM bend because they have the least amount of sweep and rise!

Renthal 996, I always ran 7/8 bars, tried the fat bar and just didn’t like it... just seemed weird to me without a crossbar pad. I just ordered my first set of 996 twinwalls and anxious to try them this Friday!

One of the big issues with Twinwalls is the lack of space for the bike’s controls

Funny this came up. I was researching the Fasst Flexx bars just today. Ive had twinwalls for years but the arm pump and hand numbness gets worse every year. The flexx bars sure are expensive but Im hoping they will be worth it.

I run Renthal 922's on the RM because of a low cockpit area and the taller bars just felt better on it. But on the Husky's , I've just stuck with the stock pro taper bars.

Flexx bars are great. Super adjustable with the simple turn of a wrench, or change of a damper. I love mine.

I like Reed/Henry in pro taper, or country boy bend for ODI cft podium bars...basically same bend. I’m really liking the odi bars a lot. I prefer a flexible crossbar with pad which the odi’s have.

Looking at the pro taper fusions... bike has pro taper evo now but what are the best in the business?
That is more of a rider preference, than a question of "which bars are the best in the business". You have to decide what you want out of a bar. Do you like flex? Do you want a rigid bar? Do you like a crossbar, do you not like a crossbar? What bend do you like? A lot of people like the 999 bend from renthal because it is more flat and straight. Some people like the SX race bend from pro taper because of the sweep and flexibility. Its is completely up to the rider on what is considered "the best in the business". You just have to ride with different bars to find what suits your riding style the best.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I really couldn't tell the difference from bar to bar if you blindfolded me. As long as they're not radically high or low - Renthal, Mika, Pro Taper, Neken... it doesn't really matter. I'm more particular about how my levers are positioned. Running Renthal CR bend and they've served me just fine.

Ive been leaving them, i think being wider helps me. Im 6foot and instead of them being taller and making sitting awkward them being wider gives me some space without making it awkward while sitting. Least its what it feels like to me!

I have stock Renthal 971 in 7/8. I would like flex bars but are they flexing that much more than 7/8 bar?
