Handlebar width for gravel bike

[daniel@danielbrauer.co.za]

I've got a giant toughroad I use for pavement/road riding. I'm only used to mtb. What length handlebar would you recommend running? I'm 6ft and finding the 720mm I currently have a bit wide with bar-ends...

 Are you using straight bars on a gravel bike set up? . I  do a lot of pavement , main road gravel , single track next to tar road and pavement hopping between traffic and use my MTB with 650mm bars ( cut 70mm off ) and no bar ends . There are a lot of unnatural obstacles like electrical boxes , lamp posts , road side sign posts , fences armco barriers  and off course pedestrians to swerve around ( a loud bell is vital )  so narrower bars works for me . My partner still has 720 mm bars and i often see him having to go on  tar to ovoid an obstacle .  We call this training ride the  " Urban Sprawl " or in communication a US ride . They are fun and work your mind , legs and lungs .

I'm guessing it's a flat bar gravel bike.

 

I rode my commuter bike with 55cm flat bars but slammed. 

 

Narrow bars sitting too high just feel horrible.

I'm no expert on this matter, but I do believe that 55cm flat bar width does make you a horrible human.

hahahahaha on a road bike.... trying to squeeze 780mm bars between cars in traffic gets both difficult and tedious
