Much wider. I had 26" before, these are 30". Control has increased 10 fold, especially with cornering. I was concerned about the low rise but I actually like it better that way.

I had wide bars for a couple rides - but I smacked my fingers on trees a couple times and out came the pipe cutter - have you noticed any problems like that?

^^That was my concern when I went to my 745s; but so far it has been unfounded. Only thing I haven't done with them yet is go down through the Spooky Woods or Frog Trees sections of Silver with them.

30" wtf? :twitchy:

I have tried 27" and cut those suckers down to 25" after a month. Much more agile in the woods.

I don't think it's a bad looking bar. I'd just have to cut 5" off it. :innocent:

Why?

25-26" is what fits me best. Works well for my "UH" bike.

That's the trade off where I ride (New England). I just deal with it, I like wide bars a lot better, I just yell "insert curse word here" every time I smack a tree.

I read the title and heard Sir Mix A Lot in my head...

I like 'em white and I like 'em wide
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face...
