backsweep question

[instinctscooter]

i have ridden straightsweep bars for the whole time i have been riding and am just asking what backsweep is like after getting used to it, your experiences etc. also what is your overall vier on phoenix suicide bars

 

[gary.the.llama]

i believe some phoenix suicides come without backsweep if you want them without. but if you do want them with backsweep it isnt much of a difference. i sometimes ride my friends scooter with ao beta bars and it isnt that hard to get used to, i got used to it in like 20 min.

For me the difference was not noticeable. I ride suicides, the design is really good. Would not ride T bars again for sure.

I'm riding 25" wide so backsweep is pretty much a must, i roder some 25" wide mgp bars with no backsweep a while back and it felt like shit.
I think bars 21 - 22" should have 3 degree and 22"+ should have 5 degree

so what exactly is backsweep for

i prefer backsweep because of the designs of most backsweep bars over t-bars and it feels more comfortable to me. I do like to switch to t-bars occasionally just because barspins feel faster and my whole scooter feels more touchy/responsive.

Or you can get T sweeps which feel really nice and spin like t bars

I have been riding the tilt bars since June, they have 5° of backsweep, and I barely noticed a difference. It really shouldn't affect your riding.
