What is the preferred/popular handlebar bend for everyone? What bend do you use?

100% personal preference. If you are a taller rider that spends a lot of time standing, you may benefit from a higher bend bar. Again, it's totally personal preference. If you are a shorter rider, a high bend may still work as you can pivot it back toward the cockpit so you don't have to reach as far forward. I currently have CR high bend, but I don't really care for it. I'll likely go to a lower bar and some rox risers when I replace it.

I've always ran the CR bends, both of my bikes currently have the CR Mid's on them. Like Julien said, its all personal preference and what feels comfortable to you.

I'm only 5'11" and I run risers and the CR high bend because I stand and prefer not to hunch over. It sounds tall but it works well for me.

I'm 5'11" I use Kx high bend bars and I flip the mounts to move them slightly forward.
