22 inch length.

Its all really personal preference, somebody may like 24 inches while another likes 22 like me.

Mine are like 21, and honestly I wish they where a bit wider. The bars I had before these where 21, but the grip tube was longer, so I had more grip area even though the bars where narrower.

I think it has to be min 7" high, gives you easier bike controll.

I have several sets.  If I run brakeless lower bars seem to be easier to control but narrow bars are a little unstable.

I have these below but I use the 2 pc Barmitzvahs the most.

2 pc Barmitzvah 6.125”rise 0 degree sweep cut to 23.25” wide

4pc Barmitzvah 6.125”rise 2 degree sweep cut to 23.25” wide

TI’s 7”rise 0 degree sweep cut to 22.25” wide

Venusia Vampire cut to 21.50” wide

Sequence

I ride the SickChild goodtimes bars. They are 20.5, and work out really well if you are brakeless. However it's all really what you feel is comfortable for you.

8'' high  by 21'' across.
it has proven to work better for me already , i know the width is still the same as any of my previous bars that ive had, but  the height makes it more stable to  keep the frontwheel  just a tad bit lower to the ground  when i need it to be!
