from Rochester Date Reviewed: November 26, 2002 Strengths: I actually bought the flat bar. I'm impressed with the stiffness of this 170 gram bar. The contruction, both heat treated and shot peened, is awsome at this price. It feels good but I preffer a little more bend, but that's all right because they match my RF cranks. Weaknesses: Race Face doesn't make matching Berts. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $80.00 Purchased At: Honest Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Ritchey, Icon, Titec Bike Setup: A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

from N. Ireland Date Reviewed: November 14, 2002 Strengths: This is the Air Alloy DH bar. Beautiful width, rise, sweep. Stiff and precise. Excellent machining. It feels just right! Weaknesses: My bar snapped within 2 weeks. The light expensive alloy perhaps doesn't have a high fatigue resistance, but i bought another one anyway cos it feels so perfect! I crashed on a set of doubles at high speed and bounced 30feet with my bike somewhere behind. The impact on the ground snapped the bars. They didn't fail while i was riding. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: Chain Reaction Cycles Similar Products Used: 24/7 simple bar, titec dh, sintesi riser. Bike Setup: coyote dual, DJ1 forks, hope bulb/d321, hope m4's, truvativ hussefelt, blackspire, xt, race face diabolus stem.
