Just wondering how these bars are? Do u guys recommend them? I'd be running them with a front load stem.

how tall are you? because if you're under 6'2" they're too big. And even then, you may find them too tall. check out S&M Hoders or FBM Headbangers for taller bars.

I run the WTP Wham bars which have similar geo to these on one of my bikes and I like them.
Very easy on the back. I'm 5'11" - 6'0" and 33 y.o. with banged up knees so I don't really care that I lose some height on my hops. I plan on swapping my Eric L sandbars on my Wi-Fi with the Fit Skyscraper's in the not too long future. Also a big fan of the 4 degree upsweep of the bars. Makes it nice on the wrists.

Fit makes good bars. If you're tall enough where you feel like you need bars of that size then get them, otherwise don't be the 5 foot kid rolling around the park with bars that are obviously too big for him.

bar size won't really help anything. try some animal big fours, four pieces, stronger, and more upsweep so easier on the wrists

I don't see how people under 6 foot can even ride anything above 8.5x28

to those saying these are too tall.... in a frontload w/ 8mm rise these will sit at the same height as 8.25 in a topload w/ 33mm rise

I think I have like one small spacer. I'm not a fan of tall front ends and huge tires if you can't tell haha I like to feel like I'm riding a bmx bike.

Completely agree with the thin Tyres, I'm running 2.2 and 1.90 at the moment and I'm finding the 2.20 a little too wide.

I'm riding a 1.95 front and 1.90 back may go to 2.1 front. I see no need for 2.4. Small bars, thin tires are a lot better.

THIS!! I am 6'1 & I am a huge advocate for stopping people under 6 foot going over 8.5" !! I feel like i will commit a sin though! I am contemplating getting Benny L Bars. They are 8.85 & coupled with the Benny L Stem they will be dropped to 8.75" & i WILL run the stem slammed so it shouldn't be too bad!

O.o 8.85 is huge! I rode Fly lago 2s that are 8.5 and cut to 27 and they felt pretty good but I also think big bars look stupid even worse with a tl and a bunch of spacers. 8.25 rise is the best looking I haven't rode my t1s much because I hate them but the lagos felt good with 1 small spacers and a frontload.

I wouldn't call the skyscraper crazy huge bars!
they are tall sure. they are basically mac a little taller. Macs are great bars btw!
but where do you guys leave the Perfect 10s or even the new S&M Elevenz! those are definitely huge! and a lot of people love them!
bottom line is that these are Fit and S&M products! don't matter what you get, you know its good quality!
just go for it! and ride!
