from Boulder, CO Date Reviewed: August 29, 2002 Strengths: Very Strong. Very light (read below). Titanium model, are people below talking about the aluminum or titanium? Weaknesses: Dunno. It would appear from reading below that they can bend or break when leaping over school busses or doing drop offs from 30 foot cliffs, or houses, etc. Wish they would have said if it was the Ti or the Alum model - case I want to do a drop-off from my office window... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hall, Walker, Dino, etc. Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Was on the bike, bought used Similar Products Used: Easton Carbon, Answer Pro-Taper, Profile Designs, Specialized Alloy.

from w van Date Reviewed: July 4, 2000 Strengths: i have both the hardcore series and the pro series.i have only tested the hardcore series (in shotgun form,which is the straight version)i also have the 5 degree bend version.i recomend the bent version for the natural bend of the wrist;but i prefer the straight version (from many years of use and adjustment to.)the bar is stiff. Weaknesses: the hardcore seems theoretically impervious to breakage,i have landed like a 200lb gorilla sometimes and the bar survived.but i have not tried the pro series yet,but will do so this race season.from first impressions it seems a little thin(like a beer can near the ends),but i think this is there to there designing to put more material where it is needed.anyway i'll talk about it probably in september.
