The Protaper OS Carbon has an unsurpassed stiffness to weight ratio. Reinforced in critical control mounting areas. Damage tolerant lay up. Moto-inspired permanent graphics.

Strengths:
Angles seem perfect. Lenght is perfect for XC. |With small grips ideal for small hands.Look Good.
Weaknesses:
None
Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz Julinas XS with X build kit. These bars were on instead of Syncross Carbon
Bottom Line:
Never ridden with Carbon bars before but some how they feel really good. They seem to absorb any hits more than my previous Ali bars.Excellent length and tapered ends for allowing a small grip size. The angles feel perfect for climbing and downhill riding on XC trails. Can't give 5 as I can't compare with any others. I'd buy them again.
