Strengths:
Light (150 grams)
Strong (titanium is very strong and resilient)
No creaks, despite the use of a delrin shim
It has that cool, destinctive titanium patina to it, even after several years of use
No ugly anodized colorsWeaknesses:
A hard crash slightly bent one sideBottom Line: This bar was relatively inexpensive, and did very well (if I remember correctly) in a Bicycling mag strength test of bars, where they were cycled many times on a fatigue tester. Titanium is probably the best metal for handlebars, as it is resilient, like steel, yet light. This is a good handlebar, and there is probably one similar to it in Bontrager's current lineup. It gets four stars because it bent a bit.
Duration Product Used:
more than 3 years
Similar Products Used:
Answer Taperlite, countless generic aluminum bars (that inevitably crack)
Bike Setup:
I've used this bar on my xc bike since spring '96, and it has given me no problems (other than the slight bend that is really unnoticeable)
