Submitted by Joe a Cross Country Rider 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.

Submitted by Jonathan O'Connor a Cross Country Rider 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.
