Bottom Line:
I absolutely love these bars. They're lightweight yet strong as hell for carbon fiber! I'm quite an aggressive rider and my crashes are a bit brutal. These bars have been troopers through all of the abuse I've dealt them. Plus, major props to FSA for making them look sweet!

Strengths:
Easily the sweetest looking bar i've ever seen. Ultra-light but superstrong.
Weaknesses:
The ends are tapered to the point where it might be hard to get your shifters and brake levers on without scratching it. I did it by taking out the clamp bolt on my shifters and wedging a screwdriver in the gap to widen the diameter.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Raleigh Ram 3.0
Bottom Line:
Sweetest bar ever. Not so many people in the market for it, so you can probably nab a new one up for pretty cheap on ebay. By the way, if you use clear grips, the carbon and the red FSA logo show on the ends and seriously makes for the nicest looking bar setup ever. I recommend ATI Links Clear grips.

Strengths:
Stiff as hell, light as feathers, looks hardcore, comfortable bend and the right length (600mm). Eastom EC's are a bit short for me so FSA is just right.
Excellent product, super stiff, light, looks awesome, overall smooth ride over rough terrain, much better than alloy, less fatigue on hands. BUY THIS IF YOU HAVENT.

No flex at all, love it! I got it included with a purchase of a '05 Marzocchi Marathon SL fork thru downshiftcycles. FSA makes great products. I also have the FSA XC-300 wheels and the K-Force Carbon seat post, both excellent components as well. Great handle bar, definitely recommend.
