Strengths:    Looks, length, weight, rise and strength.

Weaknesses:    None that I have found yet.

Bottom Line:   
I love this bar! I bought this and my stem on the same day. I was looking into RaceFace, Easton and Answer bars also. This bar doesnt bend or creak. The length is perfect, no need for cutting. The PD logo is painted and not a cheap sticker. The paint finish is matted and looks great. The rise has help me handle the bike much better, especially on difficult climbs. For the price, I think this is worth every penny.

Bottom Line:   
It's light, it's strong and it's design enables you to set up the position you want just by rotating it. The bar has a slightly different "feel" to it compared to a lot of other bars I've tried, but it works.

Cool anodized silver grey finish makes the bike look great. A little pricey for a handlebar, but reccommended.

Strengths:    wide

Weaknesses:    weight i guess 290gr.

Bottom Line:   
I got raped on the price at my LBS. Thought I saw them for 49 bucks on the net, wrong brand, my mistake. Get them for cheap and you won't regret it. I had trouble with my riding position and after trying different saddle adjustments I tried these and now I'm in heaven. I have more fun riding stuff I couldn't ride before. Lack of balls or the lack of talent? Who knows but I'm doing it all now. Best thing I did to my bike yet. Gave them 4 chili's cause they could be lighter.

Submitted by scott a Weekend Warrior from Bremerton, WA

Date Reviewed: December 27, 2001

Strengths:    Good rise; strong (so far); great width; cool anodized color

Weaknesses:    none that I've found

Bottom Line:   
I bought these to try and make the ride a bit more comfortable. The single best thing I've done to my bike so far. More experienced riders say riser bars make it harder to climb, but I haven't noticed that. It's easier to wheelie up onto obstacles and really makes the seating position easier to bear for both my butt and lower back.
