Strengths: Length and strengthWeaknesses: Haven't found it yet.Bottom Line: I love this bar. Stability is great. My track stands have improved and stability off jumps is superb. Downhills are wonderful with this bar. Excellent on very, steep technical climbs like those next to a drop off. Can't wait to use these in the North Shore style stuff we have at Burchfield. The extra width is great for Trials work like lurches, etc. High power over foot high logs is a breeze because of control you get with these wider bars. You confidence level shoots straight up attacking those big logs. Love em and happy to be using them for this season.

Strengths: nice shape rise (2.5 inches) only 30 quid not dollars. strong, levers and shifters won't rotateWeaknesses: bar is an ickle (small) bit too wide (the diameter not length) so getting a shimano dx v brake lever on requires a scewdriver to make the hole that clamps on to the bar wider, as for a hope sport lever, that requird a 6mm allen key lever. as a result it is all scrathced underneathBottom Line: awesome bar strong, wide for loads of leverage, got 5year warenty on a 30 quid bar?? go buy now

Strengths: Wide(ish) Generally good.Weaknesses: Bent on jumping a rigid trials bike into a ten foot set of steps. (Kinda reduced the rise by an inch or so)Bottom Line: big, hard, good, the warranty replacement pair are going on the XC bike though. Buy them if you don't want double walls for some obscure reason

Strengths: This is one of the few downhill bars that hasn´t snnaped or even bended after the first few months. It gives you excelent control over your bike through the tuffest terrain.Weaknesses: It has a few scratches so if you want a bar to show off keep it clean and shinny.Bottom Line: Strong and durable.

from Adelaide, AustraliaDate Reviewed: August 18, 1999
Strengths:
This review is for the Azonic Pyramid risers!!!Stiff, tough, wide, look cool, sweep feels just right.Weaknesses:
the edge bit means that you can't move your controls in very far, but this isn't a problem for me beacuse i run short avid levers.
outer bit scratches easily, but who care?
also, a bit too expensive.Bottom Line: Excellent bars. I've crashed them into big rocks many times, and the only damage has been a bit of scratched off paint.
If you use discs or maguras, which usually have long levers, these bars probably wouldn't be a good idea cos you can't run your levers very far in, due to the edge bit.

from Durango, Co.Date Reviewed: June 9, 1999
Strengths:
They were the first riser on the marketWeaknesses:
Color - the red turns pink and the black scratchs and makes your bike look used and abused.Bottom Line: It looks like the last 5 reviews were written by the same person, so I felt I should give a real review. No bars are as great as these 5 guys(or 1guy) are saying. The Azonic bars I tested are too stiff(bars need to flex for better control), and the colors are a major problem(as noted above). A bar is a bar but I would suggest ones with more flex and better finish.

from KansasDate Reviewed: March 8, 1999
Bottom Line:
Other than the fact it scratches easily, It's a good bar, hell of a lot stronger
than the crap Kore, and Coda, is trying to peddle as handle bars, this bar has taken a lot of abuse over alot of miles, and that's with 250lbs leaning on it.
When it comes time for another bar, it will be another Azonic.
