In my opinion, bar width is no different than saddle height. It is all related to body dimensions, fit and riding style. I have wider shoulders than most so I need a bit wider bar. I run 750s on my XC race bike and trail bike. I run 780s on my rigid single speed and 785s on my rigid fatbike. I tried 660 through 720 bars and felt cramped.
