drop bar MTBs are bad, because
the handling is fucked up unless the frame is specifically designed for drop bars
you cant use a dropper which is one of the only good modern MTB inventions
you cant use hydro disc brakes easily, ditto
shifting is a pain
they look ugly as sin, almost without exception
just get some flat bars you like. on one rips off every type under the sun for £30 or less. if it's good enough for the forum racers and razzer it's good enough for everyone.
