Risers i find feel nicer when on both wheels, but flats are allot nicer when on the back wheel. I like the stiffness and upsweep of the Monty TIs but hated the backsweep. The Zoos/ Echos are flexy, which is dirt. Viz Max are great but maybe a degree or two of more upsweep then they would rule. Plus a sandblasted finish. All the Flat bars i've used have felt fine, but i was always happy with the Viz Logics in 750mm. Definitely a great bar for the person with large shoulders and doesn't like backsweep.

I vote Viz. ^_^

Now for my own review

Company: DMR

Bar: Cro-Mo wingbar

Grips: Dmr zip grips.

Possotives: Feel really comfortable with the slight backsweep and confidence inspiring with the crossbar to stop you smacking your man danglers of the stem. strong and long lasting.

Negatives. Paint pretty much comes off in the rain, small clamp size is annoying for jump parts.

Score out of 10: 9 weight lets them down.

i think risers win O.o

iv never like flat bars, had a few pairs... hates the feel lol had some echo tough?.. made my wrists proper hurt...

had old and new zoo's.. love them both

had rage bars, felt nice, too short, weird shiny black polished paint stuff peeled off making them look like i found em in a junk yard...

not a very nice finish, like lots of lumpy bit where they bent? the tubing or something else (dont have a clue)...

errrm thats about it haha
