ebay

Light,strong,looks great

Don't accept bar ends because of the aluminium reinforcer.
Bottom Line:
This was my first carbon bike part. I had read horror stories about carbon failure and wanted to find out if it was true so i bought this. After 1 year of use and a 66km/h crash on the handlebars, it is still perfect. Apart from that, it has been the best handlebar i ever owned, it is very light and looks very good. Mine weighed 129g. Perfect for an XC racer that needs a light and strong handlebar. The only bad point is scratches on the clearcoat under the brake levers and shifters.
