GT Pro bars for me. I have 6 sets and still going  :shocked:  :LolLolLolLol:

Perfect rake, width and height for almost every style of riding, for almost every bike made. Many have copied the dimensions but for that 'old school' build and feel, these every time for me  :daumenhoch:

I have a couple of pairs of the Vocal 'tweet' bars. I think they're 28x 8.25, they feel just right for me. Also had some Eastern Ultralights, very similar size and style, both good imo.

Demolition Open bars.

29" x 8.25"

11 back

1 up

Reason:  I don't like too much upsweep or backsweep. These have a very neutral feel to them, felt at home right away.

I went from s & m slam bars to some kink human bars 29 x 8.75 much prefer the extra height & width and felt great straight from the off.it just depends what suits you personally really I think.and what frame-stem etc you intend to use  :)
