Setting the bar high?

I’m curious. I see a growing trend of companies making flat bars once more, and bike manufacturers choosing the install them as oem product. I’ve always been a riser bar user, with the exception of my small divergence into alt bars such as the salsa woodchipper.

What are your thoughts? Why are flat bars a growing trend? Are they better for trail riding?

Wow that’s a hot bike!!!

Love my hardtail! I’ve been missing her, mostly she has been my commuter since the end of last summer since I got my hands on my rocky mountain element 29er. But today felt like a hardtail ride and boy have I missed riding this awesome bike in the woods. I need to do it more often.
