Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$30.00
Purchased At:
online
Strengths:
stiff and solid, no flex; easily mounts controls
Weaknesses:
scratches a bit easily...
Similar Products Used:
Titec, Profile carbon, Specialized
Bike Setup:
Dakar XLT, Avid BB7, 7/6; RF crank, bar, stem; X.9 drivetrain, 819's, Intense Micro Knobbys; Nixon fork/Metel R shock
Bottom Line:
Unbelieveably strong! 2 years of 100+ miles/week in all conditions, taking my big a$$ torquing on them, and the only give is in the grips! Look good too -- a few scratches that came a bit easy, I thought, but one that was funny -- a toddler bike fell on it from 15' in the air, and left a tiny red scrape....

Bottom Line:
This bar was the first thing I put on my last bike and likeed the feel so much I insisted on taking it with to the next bike. I ride everything on one bike and these bars are great for all riding. They are worth every penny. You may find lighter but not as tough and precise.

Strengths:
Fairly light, nice rise for myself, good price.
Weaknesses:
Not as many options on the riser height, but it suits me.

Bike Setup:
Kona Cinder Cone, xt hubs, xt disc, Rac Face handlebar and stem, DT swiss rims, mainly lx drive train
Bottom Line:
I got a good deal on ebay, but this is still good value at full price. Looks really good with the Race Face stem I got too.
It fits all lights, computer and levers on no worries with room for a bell if it takes your fancy ; )
Only downer was when my girlfriend got her new Easton bits, which were really nice, but at a nice price too.

Strengths:
Very well priced, quality construction, pretty good weight, nice and strong.
Weaknesses:
Slightly narrower than other bars of this type (Diablous).
Great bar for a great price! I go through parts like crazy, and the Evolve DH bar is awsome value, and seems to be very strong and flex free. I was a bit leary about buying into the oversize standard, but am glad I did. This bar is awsome. I love it.
