Strengths: Very light for a real bar end, and they look good.Weaknesses: As mentioned previously, the finish is slick, necessitating use of hockey tape or Herculiner, which obviates some of the weight savings. They're also not too stout, despite appearances. Mine snapped.Bottom Line: If you occasionally crash, these are not for you. My 3rd ride out, I took a slow-speed endo on a night ride and broke the bar end off at the base. I may look into the warranty, but I don't expect much. Maybe good for race day?

Strengths: Nice comfy shape and light weightWeaknesses: glossy finish is slippery when wetBottom Line: These are comfortable and light, but they'd be better with a matte finish that wasn't so slick. The glossy finish sure is pretty, but it makes them hard to hold onto when they're wet, even with gloves. I'm tempted to rough them up with sandpaper, but that would probably weaken them. I'm still using them, but need to grip real tight in damp conditions.
