I cut my flat bars on an old MTB to approx 22". They felt good for bombing around the streets. However, when I installed a set of mini bull bar-ends it felt too cramped so off they came.
The bars on my recently purchased Hybrid were cut down to 24" and feels right for a variety of riding. The OEM width felt like I was steering a bus.
I recently installed 420mm (16.5") bullhorn bars on my SS roadbike and it feels perfect. However, I would never go that short on a Hybrid. I guess the width depends on the application......
