    Strengths:    -Decent sweep and rise
    -Nice width
    -Looks nice,but...


    Weaknesses:    -Too light(as in fragile...bent on a flight of stairs)
    -Some flex..


    Bottom Line:   
    Decent bars,I guess...but they bend.They're more suited to XC than the insane beatings I was subjecting them to.If you ride mildly technical XC,these are for you.For aggressive applications GET SOMETHIN' STRONGER!!

    Strengths:    Lighter weight, 27" wide, 7075-T6 riser bar, comfortable geometry.

    Weaknesses:    None

    Bottom Line:   
    The bars are GREAT! The 12° backsweep with the 5° upsweep allows for the perfect positioning with a 27" wide bar. They are very stiff, and are a good looking. Aside from the drivetrain and brakes, its an all California company bike. These bars are perfect for the "Freeride" type who has a longish travel bike that can be ridden uphill. They aren't as burley (heavy) as the Koski DH bars I have, but have the same geometry. If you are in need of a bar upgrade I would consider seriously these Koski XC Pro Gold Edition bars.

    XC Flat or Riser Bars for Kids?

    I think my daughter is 9 and doing fine with flat XC bars. Even though they're not as wide as riser bars they seem proportional to her size. Plus I've changed the stem from straigh   Read More »
