Great review! I equipped the 12 degree on my 2020 Patrol (L) last year and I can definitely say that it was a game changer. Took pressure off my shoulders, elbows and wrists. I also took a 780mm 9 degree bar off my fatbike this winter and equipped the 16 degree bar and I absolutely love it.
I'm leery though of putting a 16 degree bar on the Patrol though even though the 12 degree was good and the 16 feels good on the fatbike, I worry that the 16 might be too much on the Patrol. I may give it a shot early season once the snow and mud here recede.
Either way, there is DEFINITELY significant benefit to increased backsweep in the bars.
