Wide bars with 10-12 degrees backsweep?

[dirt huffer]

Anyone know of handlebars in the 760mm+ width with 10-12 degrees of backsweep? Looking try something new but don't want to break the bank on a Syntace handlebar

SQLabs do some 12 degree ones. Also just found you can filter on here by backsweep and it lists some other brands: https://www.bike-components.de/en/components/cockpit/handlebars-mtb/?filterBacksweep~~%C2%B0=12

I have the SQlabs 45mm rise 12 degree sweep bars and really like them.

i bought some from one of the German websites 12 degree backsweep 780mm wide, they were £26 I just wanted to try them . if I can find the link I will post it here

A mate is selling his SQlab 12 degree 30mm rise for 45 quid. I have the 45mm rise version and really like them

I'd jump on that if I wasn't in the US!

They look a bloody good deal, if 30mm rise is OK I'd have those over the SQlabs which really are overpriced for an alloy bar. Bit heavy but the SQlabs aren't exactly light either

what's the thinking behind 12deg sweep?

I was getting quite bad hand pain and i tried moving the cockpit around, different bars, different grips, different seat heights, different stems, different stack heights. . Some made a bit of difference but none solved it.
in the end I decided to try a bit more backsweep from my normal 8-9 degrees and it solved my problem, no more hand pain!
I am not sure if I could have fixed it another way but this certainly solved it

Yeah, I sometimes strain my flexor carpi ulnaris tendon in my wrist and I'm hoping to eliminate that. I'm also doing Graston to the tendon to get it to glide nice and restore the tissue, get it healthy and strong again.
