Strengths:
Sick bar from Truvativ. WIDE (mine measures 32" with barends), nice amount of rise and sweep, very light for a DH bar too. The color is nicer than boring black.
Weaknesses:
Well I was a bit omnious of the 'Truvativ' logo on there, after running (and chucking) hussefelt bars... But they have done well here.
Similar Products Used:
Hussefelts (boring, too narrow, heavy), Funn Full On (fine, could be wider)
Bike Setup:
07' Felt Straight Shot, 36's, Juicy 7's, Hope to Atomlab
Bottom Line:
Awesome bar for the bigger riders. Dont cut it down embrace the 32" uprise!!

Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$80.00
Strengths:
Nice look, beefy, reasonable weight.
Weaknesses:
Cannot trim the bar because the tapering from 31.8 down to "grip diameter" happens too far out. DO NOT TRIM THIS BAR or you won't have enough space for your brakes and grip.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
9" bike and a 7" bike
Bottom Line:
Good bar; 2 chillis off because of their oversight in the tapering. Remember, DO not trim this bar!
31" sounds really wide and it is. I am tall with long arms so it works for me. I would not recommend this product for short people but if you know 31" is for you, then is one sweet looking wide bar.
