Strengths:    The first "DH Hardcore Handlebar 4.0" lasted a little more than 1 year. It was about 5 years ago and It broke durring bunnyhop. I was learnig riding.
The second bar broke after 2 moths
The third one- lite the 2nd
I swithed to 4130 bars. Even If they will broke first of all they start to bend and You will not kill Yourself with half-bar of alu in the stomach or eye.

Weaknesses:    ALUMINIUM

Bottom Line:

The bar is very goog as aluminium bar, good stron rigid aluminium. minimum flex. Good geometry. But is only aluminium.

Strengths:    extremely durable!

Weaknesses:    nodda damn thing

Bottom Line:

these bars are the bomb in bomber! they simply are awesome. i would recomend these to anyone. the whole ROOX lineup is sweet. if you feel a little uneasy about the strength of the bars (which you shouldn't) ROOX also sells a Slambar, which is basically a crossbar to maximize the strength of the bar and it also looks cool as hell! These are cheap and very effective!

Strengths:    good warrenty

Weaknesses:    it bent on the second ride

Bottom Line:

I was given a promise that these would be the last pair of bars i bent. Good thing the warrenty covered them after they bent on the second ride.

Maybe i got a bunk bar, because the pair on my bike now has lasted almost 3 months of 15ft concrete landings.

They're plenty wide for "freeriding," but downhillers might want something thats a little wider (Roox also makes a 29" bar.) Rise and sweep are really good. One of the more comforatable bars i've ridden, and cheeper than a Raceface

Strengths:

Thick
Everything

Weaknesses:
none

Bottom Line:

This is a very very strong bar, these are the thickest bars i have ever seen, as soon as i saw them i wanted them. I finally snapped my other bars in half, so it was time to upgrade. I love these bars, they are long enough to cut, (if you want, i run mine full length) and they will NEVER break. I would hate to see the person who could snap them.

Strengths:
Stiff, wide, perfect geometry and rize everything best!!!

Weaknesses:
Hm
Too heavy for XC but its not XC bar so who cares

Bottom Line:

Veri nice wide and stiff bar, it responses very quickly on your commands. Geometry is perfect eaven if you ride XC you want get tierd and have back pain, and you'll never have wrist pain.
And for downhill, well you youst hev to try it, no one can describe that fealing when you are in full controle.
And it's not very expensive!!!!
