Dark matter bars are structures that may form inside dark matter haloes of barred galaxies. Haloes can depart from sphericity and also be subject to some spin. The latter is known to have profound impacts on the evolution of both stellar and DM bars, such as stronger dynamical instabilities, more violent vertical bucklings and dissolution or impairment of stellar bar growth. On the other hand, dark matter bars of spherical haloes become initially stronger in the presence of spin. In this study, we add spin to triaxial halos in order to quantify and compare the strength of their bars. Using N-body simulations, we find that spin accelerates main instabilities and strengthens the halo bars, although their final strength depends only on triaxiality. The most triaxial halo barely forms a halo bar, showing that flattening opposes to DM bar strengthening and indicating that there is a limit on how flattened the parent structure can be.
