^^ yeah I thought they were some mtb bars too. You can see how it tapers to 1" in the middle. Probably super strong that way. Unless they are just some sh!t bars off a huffy.

but better mtb bars with slight backsweep are usually out of alu or carbon. I have just ordered some cheap and steel mtb bars cause i can weld only steel :<
 
Nates are made out of a mountain bike cross bar they are about 6 degree back sweep and vnc bars. they are super strong to the whole 1inch center adds alot of strength. We will soon be producing bars with back sweep that are not made with mountain bike cross bars we will be bending our own cross bars.

its pretty comfortable. we dont really need it tho, considering how close we are to our handlebars, and we generally ride bars that are under 21 inches, so our arms arent spread out to the point where we need backsweep. if you ride 20+ inch bars, its probably a good idea to have backsweep so you dont kill your wrists.
