Favorite Trail:
Ride it don't tell it
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Purchased At:
CRC
Strengths:
Stiff & direct steering - feels secure & strong, quite light for 31.8, wide enough (670mm I think), the wrap around the centre, I like the little extra sweep than Easton, shiny carbon & graphics way out bling Easton
Weaknesses:
So far, none
Similar Products Used:
Easton alloy & carbon risers
Bike Setup:
On Yeti 575
Bottom Line:
This bar feels good to use, the sweep & rise are about right & the stiffness seems to give a secure feel to the steering (though I did go to a shorter stem at the same time) - I reckon my Easton carbon bar flexes more. The wrap around the centre section not only helps the grip in the stem but eases my fears about fractures from the stem clamp onto carbon, tho this hasn't happened to me with the Easton. Its light enough to race with and looks good. I got mine at a special price but even at rrp this is a bargain cf some of the carbon bars from other brands - very good bar Titec, I'll be tryin more of ur stuff
