Thanks for the response Jonathan. After some consideration I’m going to try a 31.8 Race Face alloy bar because, well I have one, just need to source a stem. I’m definitely not lacking in a stiff handle bar now, so perhaps the entry fee for the ENVE wouldn’t be worth it in my case.
I rode a self assisted mountain bike park today and ALL of my set up will need to change, tires too soft, suspension too soft - what felt right on slightly mellower terrain felt sketchy today; tires rolling on berms, diving through suspension. The good news is that I have a lot of adjustment ceiling available to me in the way of suspension compression, rebound and air settings. Been riding trails for 15 years and still learning how to ride.
