Strengths: Shape, width, comfy, looksWeaknesses: Maybe not as light as I would have liked it to beBottom Line: For the price I paid I cannot fault'em really. The 31.8 clam might actually be an overkill but I'm quite heavy and aggressive so it's probably safer that way.

Strengths: Light, Strong, Great Bend, Best Price on EbayWeaknesses: None, I Love EmBottom Line: I think this bar setup is awesome. At first, I made the mistake of buying the flat bars, and did not like them. I wanted something lighter than the Select Big Sweep on my bike since I was starting to race, and I am glad I found these bars. I am a Rock Crusher/Clydesdale, and I have taken this X-Cal on some of the toughest trails AZ has to offer. I've pushed the limit of what you might think these bars can take, and they keep on cruising. I am looking at other carbon riser bars right now for a FS, and I am really glad I bought these at such a great price on the Bay.

Strengths: Strong as hell, and easy on the hands on rough trails.Weaknesses: As far as carbon bars go they are more on the heavey side, but as far as bars in general do they are VERY light.Bottom Line: Great bars all around, pretty light, soaks up bumps nice so they dont kill your hands on descending. Kinda high dollar (check ebay for good deals). I feel really comfortable with these, they are supper tought and i never feel like im going to snap them. If your looking for some nice resonably light carbon bars these are them.

Strengths: Great shape, super looks, very stiffWeaknesses: Not as light as true carbon barsBottom Line: I have the race XXX Lite bars on my Rift Zone, and they are much lighter, but much more expensive. As a carbon wrap bar you get the best of both worlds - super strong alloy inside, super cool carbon look outside. At 240gs for 650mm wide OS bar, weight is not an issue. Get these bars if you want a great look and feel combined with awesome strength.

Strengths: Light weight.Weaknesses: They're pricey.Bottom Line: I was worried about snapping them on monster climbs, the kind where I'm pulling up with enormous force as I try to power up on the single speed, given their light weight. But they have held serve wonderfully. For awhile, I kept thinking on every climb, "maybe this time they'll snap". But they never do, and I quit thinking about it.
Excellent results for me, so far. This stuff is good sauce: 5 chilis!
