Strengths: Cool looking, light and comfortable feelWeaknesses: Too shortBottom Line: Bought the bars because it looked cool in the store. Set it on the bike, and it's great. However, it would be better if it's 2 cm longer.
I'm not heavy, so I cannot really feel much flex onthe bars.
Get 4 chillies from me. Less 1 chilly for being a tad too short.

Strengths: Its made of titanium(allegedly).Light,strong(alledgedly).Weaknesses: Not long enough.At best mediocre quality with poor graphics.Bottom Line: For the money involved in buying this kind of bar I`d look elsewhere.There are far better products out there worthy of your hard earned cash.I hate to say this but its British and that means it pretends to be good, which sadly, rarely is the case.

Strengths: Extremely comfortable - I have a fixed fork. Excellent feel.Weaknesses: Comfort=flex, which can be a pain during acceleration or climbing.Bottom Line: Combined with my X-Lite stem (L168, the juicy drilled one!) this bar transformed the feel of my bike. I swear it is possible to feel exactly what is happening between the tyre and asphalt. LOVE IT!
Mine hasn't dented, and top marks to the X-Lite stem which I use: It has a sleeve to even out the stress in the clamp.
PLUS: All the annoying high frequency, low amplitude vibrations are filtered out.

Strengths:
Weight, confortWeaknesses:
durabilityBottom Line: The bar is fine while it last. After 6 months of use it is ready to go to the trash. The problem: The bar is dented in the middle near the stem.
Bottom Line: i sent the bar to England ( X-Lite ) and they daid that the problem was ue to overtight of the bar. That is impossible because i never had these kind of problems with other bars. Dave ( from X-Lite ) was a great guy and tried to help me, but a free replacement was impossible because the damage is not covered by the warranty. Be carefull with this bar. Buy it knowing that you can have problems as i did, and X-Lite is more interested in sell than help their clients. Last time i buy X-Lite products. I have now Titec 150 that is great, and Titec have a good policy in what concerns warranties.
