I’m wanting to up upgrade my bars to something a little more comfortable for some short commutes and the occasional trail.
I’m leaning towards wide riser bars like the Ritchey Comp SC Rizer or PNW Range. Any reasonably priced bars you can recommend?
Thanks!

I just went with some amazon swoopy jobbers. Catazer I think was the brand but I’m sure they are on there with multiple brands. They call them a Dutch wide M shape bar but they are a little short IMO. Still a lot better than the straight bars I had. I think they were about thirty bucks.
I was thinking maybe longer would be better but after seeing these on the bike I realize the “cockpit” is a smidge small for me and I worry I’d bump my knees if I went too crazy with the swoop/sweep and length.
Planning on a new stem? Any of those options may require it. If you don’t need an exceptionally wide bar, the NC17 Trekking bar is a nice looking one. Ergotec has a couple of good 25.4 risers as well. Amazon usually has either.
