from Singapore Date Reviewed: November 17, 2008 Strengths: Beautiful looking (much better than Easton, FSA, or Race Face), perfect width and rise (wider than most, but not as wide as the Monkeylite XC), stiff but still compliant. Weaknesses: None I've found. For the guy who complained about not being able to cut them because of the warranty, this is because the bars have aluminum inserts in the ends to make them compatible with bar ends. If you're not using bar ends (and who is using them nowadays?), then I don't see any problem trimming the bars. A little on the expensive side.

from Fresno, Ca, USA Date Reviewed: January 1, 2007 Strengths: Nice woven carbon material. Internal strength areas for clamping components. Oversize stem clamp area gives a rigid feel when riding. Very little to no flex noticed. A great fork for light trail riding. XC hammerheads can fing a lighter bar for less. Weaknesses: There are really no weaknesses with the exception of the weight not being what was stated. By my scale, the bars weigh approximately 180g, not the claimed 160g-165g. I have weighed other components to calibrate my scale. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Big Trees @ Bass Lake, Ca. Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Answer Pro Taper 25.4 160g - showed signs of fatigue after 3 years of use (approximately 3000 miles). Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Blur LT, Minute fork, Race Face cranks and stem, full XO drivetrain, Spinergy wheelset, Thomson post, WTB saddle, Ritchey WCS rizer carbon bars, basically a light trail setup.
