Bottom line look for this handle bar on line. It lists for around $149 but if you look around you can get it cheap, I got it for $38 w/o shipping and its a well built, nice looking handle bar that preforms and stands up to alot of abuse awesome product A++++++++ I was even considering FSA when I was looking for new bars, but now Im glad I came across them.
fsa does it again with a superior product. no-compromise stiffness. The finish, design and materials are top rate. Overall shape and rise is perfect.

Bottom Line:
I can't believe this bar hasn't been reviewed here before. This is a superior, sleeper product. I trimmed for my local riding (aggresive tight trail riding). They make the previous bar (monkeylite carbon) feel like a kids toy. These bars are that much better, although there is a slight weight gain. But as we all (should) know, its not just about the weight, though apparently it is for MBA, which took stars off for the weight. Of course they have to protect their 'followers' as easton sells many more of their product. Again, just goes to show if you do the research and don't get fooled by marketing, you can find gems among the many stones.
