Handlebar fitting is a science the same way alchemy is a science, which can make it hard to find the perfect bars for your riding style, but if you're a rider who likes to tackle a little bit of everything fast XC rides, all mountain explorations, races, and some technical downhills the 3T Flat Team Stealth Handlebar might be pure gold. The Flat Team comes in two widths, 720mm and 740mm. As the name implies, both are flat for an aggressive, weight forward pedaling position, but while the 720 has a slight three degree backsweep, the 740 has a more dramatic nine degree sweep that is more suited for riders who like to tackle technical descents as well as fast singletrack. Both bars can be cut down to taste to 660mm for the 720 and 680mm for the 740. They also afford 275mm and 285mm of respective width on either side of the stem bulge, so you'll have plenty of room to mount levers, knobs, gadgets, and doodads. Both carbon fiber bars weigh in at significantly less than 200g, too, so they're more than race ready. The racing pedigree is further driven home by 3T's classic Stealth matte black finish.
