go with the 15 degree bend if doing XC style racing. I use them and love them, i feel its really close to stock feel, which felt pretty good. Plus thats what Ballance and McGill and most of the XC1 class uses

Thanks what about the other size they talk about.

The 14/31 is a good bend thats what I use - very similar to the CR Hi bend fat bars. There isn't much of a difference in the 14 and 15 bend.

So what is the 31 part.. I found some 14/31 at a local dealer for $299.00

14 is the degree of the sweep n 31 is the bar length.

Check ebay - you can find some new for a lot cheaper than that.

FYI,a couple shipments of flexx bars went out with smaller inside diameter holes in the bar ends making it nescesary to drill them out if adding powermad wrap arounds and other brands. After some complaints they switched back to the old size. Just a heads up
