Strengths:
Cheap, work fine
Weaknesses:
A little flexy
Bike Setup:
IH Warrior Elite
Bottom Line:
I got these for $12 so I can't complain. They get the job done. I do notice a bit of flex when pumping up a steep hill and they make a creaking noise that my old bars never did. I think they're good bang for the buck, but I'm keeping my eyes out for a deal on something better.

Bike Setup:
2001 Raleigh M60 w/ RockShox Judy SL
Bottom Line:
Before I got into mountain biking I rode dirt bikes and they all have riser bars. I just feel more comfortable with this type and I wished I had switched sooner. These are really nice bars, especially for the price. since I have no tried other riser bars, I really cant compare it to others, but Im sure they are many other bars out there that are as good or better. If you find these cheaper than anything else, get em.
