Strengths: Light, great feel, durable, nice width, clean lookingWeaknesses: zipBottom Line: Very Nice handlebar. My favorite so far. It has been through many crash tests, and it has held up. It is a very comfortable width/sweep/rise. A lot of control on the downhills, and is steady on the uphills.
Favorite Trail: flowy ones

Strengths: Quality manufacturing, nice profile, light weight, affordable.Weaknesses: These bars could be perhaps a inch or so wider, like their carbon fiber cousin.Bottom Line: This is an oversized 31 stem clamp bar with the pregnant bulge in the middle. I really like this bar so far. I replaced my Easton EA 50 because it was never straight, right from the beginning. I use the XO twister shifters (hate those button designs because my thumb was never in the right place) and they fit on the bar with the brake levers and grips without trying to creap into the bulge area. I have not noticed or had problems with the finish being too thin as others have complained about. This is a good solid low riser bar and I would not hesitate to buy one again if needed.

Strengths: Looks good, Strong so far, Real light, perfect length (for me anyway)Weaknesses: hasn't bent or anything yet in the 6 months I've been thrashing it...Just feels Like it wants to since its so light... may be a lil expensive...finish scrapes easy when installing components on bars.Bottom Line: Been hitting moderate jumps and just riding trails with this thing. Seems pretty solid and hasn't even hinted at breaking or bending. I would recomend it, and maybe even buy it again, It looks good and does the job well. The scratches are covered by the grips you put on and a mountain bike should be a little rough looking anyway if you are riding it right anyway.

Strengths: These are light, 190 gms!!, good sweep/rake/rise. They seem strong but have a very slight flex just for absorbing vibrations.
Wide for control. 7075 alloyWeaknesses: May be too thin, but havent showed any sign of weakness yet, so thats just speculation.Bottom Line: Love the light weight.
My hands/wrists use to ache with my flats but that has gone with these, so thats a big thumbs up.
I do sometimes wonder (on those big bumpy fast downhill bits - Im 210 inc gear) if they are stong enough since they are so light, but no problems yet!
I like the width to help man handle the steering when needed.
Overall you cant go wrong with these for heavy XC, cant comment much beyond that. Good value too!!
Another excelent FSA product that hits the mark, just like their Orbit Extreme headsets!!
