from Northern, VA Date Reviewed: May 6, 2009 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | looks, shot peened finish, weight | | Weaknesses: | bends easy | | Bottom Line: | Not worth buying as new. If it comes on your bike...OK. But quickly replace with a carbon bar. The aluminum bar WILL bend I don't care what the so called experts say. I had a mild spill on a sidewalk and the bar was permanently bent. Glad it happened before my x-country race. I've since gotten a Bontrager Race Lite Carbon bar. I'm soo happy with it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

from Maine Date Reviewed: May 23, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Any and All | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Gorham Bike and Ski | | Strengths: | Looks good, price, pretty stiff | | Weaknesses: | Narrow | | Similar Products Used: | Easton, WTB, Truvativ | | Bike Setup: | Gary Fisher HooKoo | | Bottom Line: | These were the stock bars on my Hoo Koo. The only issue I have with them is that they are not near wide enough. At 630mm it feels like the levers and rapid fire shifters are all crammed together. My hands just about hang over the bar ends. They are being replaced with a 680mm bar. Riders with narrow shoulders and small hands should have no problems. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
