Looking for a straighter riser bar

I’m currently running a Spank 60mm rise bar it is swept 5* up and 10* back. Because the silly low stack height on the Meta Power I would really like to keep a 60mm or maybe even 80mm. I’ve been battling some finger numbness while riding and remembered today that I’m always having to find bars for my motorcycles that have less sweep. Maybe that’s my issue on my MTB too.

Luckily the bar that came on the bike only has 7* sweep so I’m going to give it a try. The down side is it’s only a 30mm rise. The closest thing I’ve found so far is a Renthal 40mm 7* backsweep bar. Still a bit short on height though.

Anyone have any ideas for more bar options? Stop gap will be a stem with some rise as they are easy to come by for testing sake.

Thanks.

Now that fork axle to crown and wheelsize have both increased and everyone is buying a bike 2" longer than before (this is also why headtube lenghts have become shorter BTW) dirt jump bars are the only actual high rise bar options left really.
plenty have 7 degree backsweep.
Try DJ brands such as Dartmoor, Diety, NS etc.
