    Date Reviewed: July 18, 2007
    Favorite Trail:international horse park conyers, ga
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $35.00
    Purchased At:performance
    Strengths:It's a stiff bar, that's for sure. The weight is nice and low, and the price can't be beat.
    Weaknesses:It's hard to really trust a bar made out of carbon will not break.
    Similar Products Used:Aluminium, titanium bars
    Bike Setup:Fully rigid, ti frame, xt/xtr drivetrain
    Bottom Line:Not a bad bar for a beginner/weekend rider looking to drop a little weight and benefit from the vibration damping properties of carbon. At that price, who cares if it's not the lightest carbon bar. This bar has survived a year of XC racing on a fully rigid bike. My previous bar, which was made out of titanium, broke under the same conditions.
