Mtb. these days have bars between 70-80 cm. wide and these work for there intended purpose which is usually single track narrow trails etc. where fast cornering is needed. If you want to just ride on the road or easier wider trails then I think bars around 60 cm. would work better and although not trendy any more I still like short bar ends. They feel just like riding on the hoods on drop bars and your forearms are much more relaxed, and great for climbing I just cut down my Kona explosif handle bars to just over 60 cm. and am replacing the tires with 1.5's and a tighter cassette if I can find one that works. I measured some hybrid bars at my LBS on the weekend and they were all around 60 cm. Good luck, Cheers Roscoe
