Strengths:
Cheap!!! Has the dimensions I want in a riser bar (width, sweep & rise)
Weaknesses:
unknown durability, not shot-peened, a little heavy
Bike Setup:
Rigid!!! Shimano LX components.
Bottom Line:
An inexpensive way to make riding a lot more comfortable. The improvement in steering feel with this bar is incredible compared to my old cowhorn style handlebar (which was too narrow).

Strengths:
Very stiff, awesome look, wide enough. Amasingly cheap considering all of its strengths.
Weaknesses:
It's heavy, but hey, it's a DH thing. Are there any other weaknesses? NO!
Similar Products Used:
Simply a lot of handlebars
Bike Setup:
IDEAL Race Pro Team, full XT with XT disckbrakes. Marzocchi Z3 100 Air...etc
Bottom Line:
Get this handlebar now, it's cheap and it's stylish. It is very strong and endures everything. This handlebar will not bend or snap. However, the handlebar I own is a 2001 model, but it is the exact same model except color (the 2001 model is a lot cooler!).
