Ritchey Kyotes / On-One OG
Was coming to ask about reasonably priced swept back mtb bars. I've got some Nitto Albatross, but was looking for something a bit more modern with less sweep.
What was it about the On-One OG that you wanted to change? Tempted as they have a bit more rise and a bit less forward.

The shape of the OG's is great & there's a nice amount of flex there too (i have the v2 which are supposedly lighter), I initially had them on a flat bar 1x10 commute bike & they were perfect, I then tried them on the mtb with the view to buying another set but found myself wishing they were just a bit wider at times.
I would have kept them on the mtb but then I increased the fork travel & that brought the cockpit up / back a bit (small frame 29er, 80-120mm) so decided to look for something a bit wider / more reach with the same backsweep to get back over the front more.
The OG are a great bet - they have a bit more reach than some of the on-trend mtb bars I looked at (Stooge, Surly Dream Riser etc.) so your hand position in relation to the stem is similar to a standard mtb bar instead of being pulled closer to you due to the backsweep.

Ritchey Kyotes arrived - wide af & a bit more forwardy than the On-One OG, should be just the ticket as I found the backsweep was perfect on those... mtb is in bits currently for powdercoating, looking forward to getting it back together & catching the bars on every narrow gap I attempt to mince through
