Strengths:
Absolutely bomb proof, or as Dano says "Bradley proof".
Weaknesses:
Bit of a b*tch to get on my aftermarket ODI grips. Whatever, thirty seconds longer than I wanted to spend working on that project if you wanna call that a weakness.

Great bar with no complaints though I've heard some pretty nasty comments about Truvativ's bottom brackets and cranks.

pretty sweet bars for the price, i virtually dont see how you bend these freaking things. I didnt think that i would like these bars cause of the up sweep (coming from crowbar comps 9 degree down sweep) but I did and U might too.

Strengths:
stiff and strong. I can't see how these bars could possibly be bent or snapped (without you also being bent and snapped at the same time). Look OK too - laser etching is qual. Nice price.
Weaknesses:
pretty heavy. The Holzcrappers are 40g lighter, which proves that you don't need that extra weight to have a burly bar.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Solid and inexpensive. If you wanted to, you could ride these bars for 20 years. I don't weigh very much so am switching to a lighter azonic bar, but if you do 30 footers or are physically massive, then these babys will be sweet.

Get the bars! Do it, do it. These are the stiffest strongest bars I have ever ridden. I went all Truvativ with my bike build ths year and am loving it. I can only imagine how sweet the Holzfeller bars are. My hussefelt bar kick my diabolus bars in the junk. Truvativ makes far better products in my opinion. My bike I built last year was all shimano and race face. This year it is all Truvativ. You will not be upset with these bars. Go to most any online shop and get em!
