Swift handlebar recommendatons and diameter
Hello all. Just picked up a Swift and need to get a different handlebar as the stock one is too narrow. I'd also like to raise the bar height a bit (already have the "large" stem installed, but I'm 6'3 and like a more upright position). I need to know the proper diameter of the Swift bar, and also if anyone has any recommendations? I was thinking of something in carbon fiber but don't want to go crazy on the price. Probably will also install carbon fiber bar ends. Thanks for any advice.

I like (and have ordered) the one "xootr swift" has on his. It's on page 4 of this conversation:

Thanks noteon. Never had a bar like that--looks kind of funky, but what do I know? I assume it does not add any height to the stock bar...

any standard bar with a 25.4 center will work... you have lots of options
you might try a riser bar with a 50mm rise ......
example: this ia an alloy but you will be able to find a carbon if that is what you want
