Wide Riser / swept bars for commuter/ATB: Wilde Rambler

One of the two bikes I acquired lately to replace my Rawland is a Wilde Rambler frame, and I'm going to build it as a somewhat upright "ATB". I haven't paid any attention to the current crop of super wide risers. What do y'all like?

Nitto makes the best bars in the world. I've thought about picking up a pair of the wilde bars for gravel roads but love my hunter smooth moves on my flat bar bike.

I have the Ritchey Kyote bars on my commuter. I cut them down to 700mm. Very comfy and would be good offroad in stock width.

2nd on the Kyote bars, on all of my MTB's. Lengthens reach. A big plus for me. Grip angle much easier on my older wrists.

A group of us built up 90's bikes which suffer the long low geometry affliction. Here's a few of the bars we're running that we are liking

Magic components moth bar (lots of sweep/rise)

Magic components worm bar (more rise less sweep)
https://www.magiccomponents.work/product-page/wormbar

Crust Ron's ortho bar

Nitto Tosco - like the ortho bar with more sweep, I run these and bent them in my vise to be more like Rons bar above.

for more modern geo both surly sunrise and soma dream bars fit well

I have a new, never mounted set of Hunter Smooth Move (made by Nitto) low rise in black that I would sell. Bought them for a project that didn’t materialize. Currently out of stock at Hunter, but here’s the info: https://huntercycles.bigcartel.com/p...rise-handlebar

They have a nice vintage MTB feel to them with 15-degrees of back sweep (most MTB bars seem to have 7 or 8, up to 10 at the very high end, so these are significantly more swept back).
