Recommend me handlebars with back sweep

[macp]

Dear all
My current black handlebars have a 31.8mm clamp, are 750mm wide with an 8 degree backsweep, And a 6 degree upsweep. Im looking for a larger backsweep, say 15 degrees minimum with some rise. I think I would stay around the same width. Although I only have my Quad Lock additional to the grips and brake levers, shifters.

Can you recommend anywhere I can get such a thing in the UK. Or will ship to the UK.

Thankyou in advance.

Take a look at Jones H bars:

Store - H-Bars - Jones Bikes

jonesbikes.com

I believe they will ship to the UK.

What you are looking for are called "comfort" MTB bars or "alt bars". Corvus makes one called the Sweet 16 with 16 degree back sweep. They also have a variant called the Sweet Rise that has more rise to it. I can't help you with UK availability, but check Merlin Cycles, Bike24, Ribble, etc.

try Amazon or AliExpress,I got a set one time that looked like a long legged "c' or you could probably buy a set from any Dutch bike dealer.

Check out Planet X - online international bike store based in Yorkshire. They do a number of swept back bars and very reasonable prices. They also have a Jones clone; the Geoff bar which has a similar sweep and width. I use their OG v2 swept bars which at 680mm are a bit narrower but I like that on roads etc. Great bars.

I've used On One & Planet X parts for years, great quality, UK based (important post Brexit!) & cheap prices. Here's a link to their handlebar page:

Was just thinking, Sonder does Bike Parts I think I've seen handlebars on their alpkit webshop.

Found it, https://alpkit.com/products/sonder-scope-loop-handlebar

Try the stock Specialized Como bars from the older bikes, they're great. Otherwise FSA has a Metropolis bar that's got a good sweep.

Fantastic response guys thankyou. Im liking in particular the On-one bars. Although the description by @stompandgo really helped to identify what im looking for.

Found a brilliant article here

Utility Riser Bar

The Utility Bar and Rack system is possibly VO's greatest answer to "how can I put a rack on my bike?" Simply strap your backpack, favorite 12 pack beverage, or cycling bag onto your rack and cinch it down. No need for forks made for racks, p-clamps, or the like. If you have a 31.8mm stem clamp...

Here is another to look at. I currently have them on my CC.

Here s a site that has numerous bar shapes and spec's,
that can be super imposed over each other to see the results,

Just choose an approximate bar shape to start with,
then switch back and forth, makes choosing a better choice..
