Naming a handlebar after birds in one way or another has become commonplace these days it seems, so I figured it's about time we at Crust throw our hat in the ring and named this backswept riser bar after one of my favorite families of birds, "Shrikes". Shrikes are carnivorous and feed on prey such as lizards, insects, and smaller birds. When they're finished feeding they're known to impale their prey on thorns, barbed wire, or any small spike they can find, so they can return to it later and feed on the remains. What does all this have to do with this bar? Not a damn thing, but I figure a bar with a good shape like this deserves to be named after a family of birds that are sick.
This bar has a good amount of back and upsweep, but not so much backsweep that it feels too mellow or cruiser-y, it stays in the "trail/ mountain" handlebar category in my brain. It's a good one for that bike in your life with not much or not enough stack that you want to bump the bars up a bit higher without having to run a bunch of spacers or a weird stem.
