    Strengths:    How many different words are there for f@#*in' STRONG!

    Weaknesses:    If you're concerned about weight, you bought the wrong bar

    Bottom Line:   
    This bar was worth every penny of the $29 CDN dollars i paid for it. The difference between this bar and my old lightweight aluminum flatbar is just plain silly. I can actually feel my fork working now, not my bar flexing. There is so much difference in the amount of response in my steering, and it gives you a better feel of the trail altogether. What a wicked bar and at a sweet pricepoint. Give it 5 SWOLLEN ASSES for this one.

    Strengths:    Strength and durability

    Weaknesses:    It's heavy, but IT IS a downhill bar...so it really does not matter to me.

    Bottom Line:   
    The Koski DH-6 bar is the burliest bar I have ever laid hands on. It is made from very thick 6061-T6. It has the same geometry as the Koski XC Pro Gold bars I have on my Bullit. The 12° backsweep with the 5° upsweep allow the bars to be perfectly adjusted to my wrist position. Like I said, they're heavy, but the bike weighs 46 lbs. so what's a few extra grams? The blasted and anodized finish is cool too.
