Strengths:    Light, Flat, OS, short at 580mm

Weaknesses:    tell u some othr time, dunno of any yet.

Bottom Line:   
Feels nice, looks nice, light-weight ( damn impt for me since my bike is quite damn heavy), perfect. I dun wan carbon coz, dun wanna risk it ( i cycle on road, i dun wanna die so young). This may most probably be the best aluminium handlebar you can ever get for the price.

On a budget? GET IT! U wun regret it.

Strengths:    Nice quality, strong

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
I bought this flatbar to replace the XR riserbar that was OEM on my bike. It's light (I'm not a weight weenie though), doesn't flex, and is a nice width (wide bars aren't that great for dashing between southeast pine tress IMO) at a killer price.

Strengths:    Pretty good buy for the money. Looks. Solid feel while riding

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
Great bar for the money. I'm using it in conjunction with the XR stem and I love it. I'm a fairly big guy (6'2" 215lbs) and I feel no flex out of this when I sprint or throw the bike around. Which on the flip side means it prolly doesn't absord much vibration, but heck, thats what the tires, fork, and gloves are for. It doesn't bother me. Great bar. Looks good on the bike, especially when cradled by the black XR stem. I'm VERY pleased with it. I can't that enough. It was completely worth the money.
