Looking to buy a new set of bars tomorrow, thinking of rethals. i am 6"1 and like stand up riding. mostly trail riding, no racing.

cr bend or the double bend or atv bend. these are what i am considering so far but open to suggestion. again dont want to break the bank on bars.

whats your thoughts and input.

I prefer the banshee bend (Renthal)It's a little more swept back than the ATV race bend.I am 6' and have only broke one set in 5 years.I mainly race XC but I can get my jump on.:macho

Ignore Bill Fuller. If you could see the ergonomics of his machine you'd run away screaming. His crap is so far apart and at odd angles you can't do two things at once without being a double-jointed contortionist! The Banshee bend in particular is WAY too wide for me.

I make my own custom bend of Renthals. Just take the ATV race bend and then cut a little more than 1/2 inch off of each side - perfect!

I like my set of Renthal Fat Bars they aree the MC bend and they take out the vibration very well
