Stella Ridge
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$80.00

Lightweight. Nice rise, bend, and sweep

Clear coat began peeling immediately at the clamping area...before I even torqued the clamp bolts.

Bike Setup:
Was on a 2003 Iron Horse Hollowpoint Team
Bottom Line:
I use this bar for a year and had no problems with failure. It seemed quite strong yet was reasonably lightweight. The clear coat and the graphics peeled immediately upon clamping on it (with a torque wrench). While this didn't affect performance, it did make them look kind of ugly and made me wonder how long they would last.
