Strengths:    wiiiide, strong

Weaknesses:    none so far

Bottom Line:   
I was told that my purchased-used Holzfeller at 24" was a travesty and given a Torsion Race 50. I've got nothing against the Holzfeller, but these are lighter and still feel as solid. I'm still getting used to the length difference (cut down to 28"), but so far loving it. Looks nice too. Retail for $50ish won't break the bank like those fancy carbon bars.

Bottom Line:   

They're quite good for downhilling only on wide, open tracksand preferentially for someone with long arms. Hence if you are a dwarf who rides cross country on single tracks these bars are not for you. After measuring them for length I realised why I kept clipping trees. They are over 4 cms wider than the bars I have been using (Azonic dh risers). 4 cms might not sound like much but it definitely cost me a race when I clipped a tree right on the end of the bar. The azonics are perfect for me so I'm cutting the Kore's down by 3 cms Then they should be fine (but then again I'm not a dwarf and I've got another bike for XC).So for now they get 2 / 5

Bottom Line:   


This bar is a must for people who want the riser bar setup but want all the space they can get. It's a good, solid bar but it's heavy. It's around 400grams so that quite a hefty bar. I dunno...people say it looks stupid but i think it looks better then all the rest (besides those cool carbon/kev weave stuff)
Get one if you can get it cheap. BUT DON'T BUT THE ELITE VERTSION! Kore has them on recall...they are prone to breaking!you pal,
anark
