Strengths: Light, Wide, Comfortable.Weaknesses: Price.Bottom Line: This review is for the carbon fiber version of the Flat Top bar since it isn't listed.
Very good bar. Dampening effect is fabulous, but the real improvement is the width, if you're into that sort of thing.
I didn't think I would notice an improvement due to the width, maybe just a little more comfortable. However, the added width provided more control, increased stability, and it noticeably improved the ability to torque when climbing.
I only have one spot where I have clearance troubles on my trail system, so that isn't an issue for me. If you're concerned about that, this bar may not be for you since there are cheaper carbon fiber bars out there.

Strengths: Width,sweep,looks,durability.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I think this bar is perfect for 29ers and singlespeeds due to the added torque from the 28" width and the comfy sweep. The flat design keeps the bar heigth on my 29er the same as I had on my 26" bikes.
