The thing with this brand of handlebar is that it's purely marketing. Its not like you cant find a bar already that wouldn't have similar dimensions, hence why they won't list the dimensions. The current trend is around 80-87mm height bars for people up to about 6'2. If you're over that and really want a taller bar then maybe go for about 92mm. Then its a matter of picking something with not too much sweep, maybe 54mm or less so maybe about 12-13degrees or less. If you're on the smaller side generally about that sweep should be fine and the taller you are then lead to slightly less sweep. Just here to try and help people out.
the astra website has all their specs.. it's not just a marketing thing..there are a few different approaches they have to their design and spec preferences.
I love these bars. the Chris birch astras are. 32mm I have a set of astra auroras on my te. love them put Carapacks pegs 10m down 10 back on from 1strackmotosport . Put the bars in the most forward hole on the triple clamp. feels great
LOVED THEM at the Crosstimbers Enduro. Check out the latest video to see me flowing between the tight trees with them. The bars really have been helpful with control and placement on the bike.
I love the lower handlebars, period. I feel it gets me lower and more forward when sitting, but also helps me bend at the knees more when standing for a better attack position. Latest video posted on facebook is me standing and weaving through single track. facebook.com/seattime/videos/4224785994289780

Thank you for the video. Looking forward to your thoughts on these handlebars after your next ride.

Low and back pegs feel great imo
Great video!
What about standing position?
I have lower handlebar on my Sherco and I don’t like it, I mostly ride in stand up position!
