Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:

Strengths:
Look alright, probably a good budget bar
Weaknesses:
Seem flexy, and seemed too wide
Similar Products Used:
Truvativ Hussefelt 35mm rise, Truvativ Team riser 2" both OS
Bike Setup:
Trance 3
Bottom Line:
It would have been partially the ea30 100mm stem, but they seemed to make the bike handling feel too slow, I guess that could be also attributed to the width. And the ea30 set up seemed a bit flexy to me as well. I still think they are good value bars but don't look anywhere near as good as 31.8 bars (personal opinion of course). I also thought it was odd that they were lighter than the EA50's & I guess that's where flex / strenght wouldn't be as good in comparison.

Strengths:
This bar was on the Bianchi single-speed that I bought this winter,I was skeptical at first because I am die-hard flat bar guy. But the bend is just so darn comfy and it is really wide for s-s leverage.
Weaknesses:
I know it is to heavy but were talking $650 bike.
Similar Products Used:
raceface, too much sweep.
Bike Setup:
Bianchi SASS stock but for clip-less peddles and bontrager super-x's
Bottom Line:
I want the same bend of bar in a really light version for my carbon Fuel.

Strengths:
This came on my Giant Rainier 06, the bars very stiff, not to wide, looks nice in black ( one thing i noticed is that it's 50 g lighter than the better ea50 which i found was odd)
Weaknesses:
i havent found none yet, hopefully there will be none a bit heavey compared to the higher end.... weight weinies wont like it
Similar Products Used:
Syncros ti
Bike Setup:
06 Giant Rainier stock
Bottom Line:
the bar feels right, isnt too heavy (could be worst), and looks and feels like it will last quite some time
i would advise this product for aggressive xc riders or heavier riders.. dosnt creak like some handle bars do
I give it 5 for value and 4 for overall because it could be lighter, but no complaints
