I am trying to decide which bars I should get. In the past I have always ran 4-Piece bars, they have always been the most comfy for me. My bro has the S&M p10 bars and I liked them because they were tall and rigid, like all of my bars in the past. Which ones are best and which ones should I get?

the s&m bars are going to be more rigid since they are made with straight gauge tubing but they will be heavier. from my experience, multi-butted bars that are fairly light have noticeable flex (Shadow Vultus, etc).

im going to honest with you. i run BSD raiders they have a 2 degree upsweep i would honestly spend the extra money and grab the tree super motos with a 4 degree upsweep its much nicer on the wrists, i do get a little wrist pain from the 2 degree but im also in my late 20's. im also 6'4 and ride a topload load stem

coolest looking bars aside from the OG bob bars. I'm sure they're strong too.

Definitely Tree Super Moto.. I have them, most butted bars in this size do flex, these dont and the 4 upsweep feels fantastic!! I went from 10's to Elevenz(still use frequently) and now the Super Moto.

Edited Date/Time:
Get an S&M FU bar.
I heard 4 pieces bars are more rigid.
Also still to keep it rigid, super tall bars isn't the best choice.
The 9" version would be great but 10" will probably flex more, also on the 10" version, the wide is 30" !!! (does anyone ride a 30" bar uncut ?)
So the 9" FU bar seem the way to go, and if you want to be higher without sacrfiing rigidity, put some spacers under your stem (or buy a higher rise stem If you cannot put some spacers more, or are still too low with them).
What bar height are you running now ?
