Sunline V-One Carbon bars are constructed of a lightweight 3k carbon weave and are perfect for your lightweight XC or Trail bike. A 685mm (27") width is great for trail bikes, and the low 19mm rise helps keep your front end low if you're running a longer travel fork. Reinforced and textured clamping area adds both strength and dependability.

The bar cracked under the brake perch and when measured with digital calipers the clamping area varied between 22.1 and 22.7mm. The bar was replaced under warranty. I can't say I will buy another, but it was great till it broke.

Bottom Line:
As light as bars that cost twice as much and there is almost zero difference in performance or durability. My riding friend refered to them as my "no name" handle bars. Whos the smart one for paying $139 for the Easton name?

Assembled at the one and only BUY MY BIKES!
Bottom Line:
I cut these down 1/4 inch or more on each end for XC race cuz I was whangin em on stuff, but otherwise these suckers are perfect. I've got the Sunline thin Logo Lock-On Grips on them and they're a perfect combo. Carbon compliance really helps with the beating my hands take on long rides.

s-works hard tail, fox f100rlc, mavic sl wheels, xtr brakes and shifting
Bottom Line:
The sunline V-one carbon bars have a low rise at 19mm and come stock at 27 inches wide. where i used to ride down hill and free ride these bars fell really nice at there stock width and have a very aggressive feel to them, they are recommended as a all mountain bar but they came in lighter then my former fsa bars that i was running. Also the Sunline bars have a very clean look to them and they have incorporated some what of a gusset in the bends on the bars by making them oval them there.
