Strengths:
width, weight, good bar for coming stock on my bike
Weaknesses:
material choice, it smapped
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
2003 dmr sidekick, rigid, single speed, or 2001 norco Vps drop, stock
Bottom Line:
I was very happy with this bar until today when it snapped off a 1 foot drop. I have ridden this bar for almost a year and a half so i was not that suprised that it snapped. it came stock on my 2001 norco drop and then i swapped parts to my street bike. I would recomend this bar to a someone who is into light freeride and want a really wide bar

Strengths:
Strong, big rise, very aggressive sweep. Very stout.
Weaknesses:
None yet
Similar Products Used:
Race Face Air Alloy, Easton EA50 and EA70 Monkey bars.
Bike Setup:
2001 Norco Torrent. A freeride/xc mutant.
Bottom Line:
The FUNN bar is very reliable, it's thickness adds confidence to a former xc weenie. Plus the hot orange color is pretty honch! I would recommend this bar to any freerider/downhiller. FUNN is quickly setting a new standard for freerider components.
