$75.00 | | Purchased At: | TNC Hamburg (bad customer service) | | Weaknesses: | My wife had this handlebar on her bike. After a light fall which happend when she was just starting to ride, this so "durable" handlebar was gone. Syntace didn't gave any replacement on garantie. Now we bought another more stable handlebar which is somne 2 gramms heavier but holds. | | Bottom Line: | Don't buy it. One light fall und this handlebar is gone! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 17, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Lightweight, superb quality | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Ritchey | | Bottom Line: | Forget the rest. Get this. Two years of being thrashed at warp speed have not even come close to even scratching it. The finish is that good. Whatever your standard, you won't find anything that compares. It is also not expensive and has beaten the so-called competition hands-down for the last 4 years in bike magazine reviews in Germany.
And they should know about good quality! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

This has really got to be the best handlebar that is out there. Just look at the crash test/durability tests. It surpassed Syncros and RaceFace by a long shot.
I got those bars after my cheap Modolo bar broke. Since then I have really tested it hard and it hasn't failed on me yet. Very good! | | Overall Rating: |
