TE/TC TE300 handlebar width

Mine are 32", i hear 30.5 is what some are doing? Any opinions?

I stick to regular Windham width

Old school way is to do push ups and when you get your hands in the most comfortable position then measure the width and cut your bars to that. I've run narrow for the woods but went back to wide for easier cornering and moving the bike around in the air. In other words there is no set "good" width just cut them how you like them.

Yes i realize its all personal ergos but just wanted to hear feed back. Windham width? Whats this?

I cut my OEM bars down to 30" to fit between the trees on the tight single track here. Otherwise I'd need to stop and swim the bike through wasting time and energy. The controls fit fine at 30 but if you go shorter, you may have issues with your lever mounts hitting the bend. It depends on the brand and sweep you run.

Same here, except I cut off 1" from each end of the oem bars which = 29 1/2" and throttle side is cramped for space, but ok. Add handguards and you're back to @ 31"

or dont cut and use flag style.... I fly thru even the tightest trees

The trees round here like to jump out in front of me...lol

I use Pastrana bend bars and leave them full width mounted on top of a sub bar BRP steering dampener mount. I had narrow bars a few years back and they were better for the tight trees but not so good for other things as I mention above. Once your brain learns your bar width you will compensate for the trees without having to think about it. I should add that I'm 6'6" tall with a 6'9" arm span so it's doubtful you will like what I like.

My shoulders are wider than 32" so why have bars that are 30? If you have skill you can go thru thin trees pretty fast without trimming bars...

I run Flexx bars and use Mini Bike 29" bars. It's not about being narrow to fit through trees, it's about what fits me. I actually used to run 27.5" bars in the old days. I've run wider bars and they don't give me more leverage, just feel uncomfortable to me. If you want more leverage on the bike, start using your feet on the pegs and knees against the shrouds.

I agree, it's not only about seeming to fit through narrow places easier, it's basic ergos. I've always liked my bars a little narrow, I just got a set of Tag Mini-High bars to hopefully open up the cockpit of the tiddler a little.

I have no skil...lol
