Interested to see what size bars are popular and why....

Height?
Width?
Type of riding? (Street, Park, Vert.....etc)
Why you like/dislike your bars?
Do you find you have to modify the bars you buy? If so why...?

Any other comments regarding bars....

22 high, and 20+ wide.
Mostly park, with tech and street mixed in.
Only think I dislike about my bars is that wide bars make tech harder, and sometimes I catch my barspins towards the middle of the bars and it looks dumb.
 
20 plus wide for life. There isn't really a specific height that is 'popular', its just about your height but i ride 22 high.
I like bars I can flow with, and thats why I like 20 wide or more, but sometimes it makes me fuck up bartwists and barspins ect. and sometimes it makes me ride skii so i can catch bars better.
Street.
I like my bars because they have backsweep, but not enough. I think a good set of bars should come out with more backsweep then 5 or 3 degrees.

I also don't like how on a few of my bars, when they land they hit the middle part so theres one point where its all scratched. But I don't see what you could do about that. Interested to have a try of your bars Mr. H :D

Thats good to know mate, theres not much you could do as the impact is always going to be in the same place....
The hight and width of the bars is personal prefrence then?
Contact ATB Swindon for info on the bars ;)
 
Yeah pretty much. Haha just trying to help. I put a piece of grip on the bar now and it keeps in nice and shiny ;)
I say you should put the widths at something like 18, 20 and 22 as they are the most popular and people need to start riding wideee.
