Handlebar: Riser With Less Backsweep?
I'm looking for a 30mm-40mm riser handlebar with a back sweep around 5*.
So far I have only found the Race Face 1" (25mm) Turbine handlebar that has a back sweep of 5*.
Currently I'm running a 40mm EA70 Monkey Bar that has a back sweep of 9*.
Just looking to see if a bar like this exist...not looking for an explanation of why bars have back sweep or ergo type grips might help (they don't).
Thanks!

with a 10~12 degree riser stem to get your additional 28mm of ride.

After a few beers I started flirting with that same idea. The only negative issue would be cost. Thomson Elite X4 stem would be around $100. I would stick with alloy for the bar, so that would be another $50 - $100.
Currently my stem is 8* / 90mm. In order to achieve the same reach, would I have to use a longer stem due to a 10* - 12* angle?

If you need to go with a 90mm, 8* degree stem, and a 40mm rise handle bar to be comfortable riding, you need a different frame, IMHO.

Even though I'm 6'2, I have short Legs, long torso, and short arms (why I have the riser bar).
I even have weird custom golf clubs due do body specs
