    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Purchased At:College Park Bicycles
    Strengths:Weight, stiffness, perfect width (IMO)
    Weaknesses:Price?
    Bottom Line:Stiff bars with noticeable damping effects. Lightweight and not too dramatic of a rise, width, or sweep. I prefer the look of unfinished carbon to the flashy, clearcoated outer weave of these bars, but I'll live.

    Favoriate Trail:3Stage
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Strengths:Reliable, strong, great graphics
    Weaknesses:Pricey but in the end worth it.
    Similar Products Used:Easton Monkey Lite Riser
    Bike Setup:Giant AC AIR w/Manitou Minute and Swinger, Crossmax Enduros and mix of XT and XTR
    Bottom Line:OK, so XC handlebars should in theory only be used for XC riding and that goes for most bike parts, especially carbon ones. This XC bar has been on my All-mountain bike for over 3 years, with never a problem. It's taken some hits but after regular inspections, it's still holding up strong. It's light, strong and fairly stiff and slick looking to boot, so what else can be said. I'd buy one again!

    Strengths:it's carbon it's good takes out the vibartion light weight and strong beefy 31.8mm clamp area
    Weaknesses:what ???
    Similar Products Used:easton ea 50,cannondale earthbar,easton monkeylite xc,tomac

    Bottom Line:this is one of the best bars that i have owned.it does every thing a bar should do . and it's light weight and takes out the vibration.and feels alot stiffer and stronger than the easton monkeylite.wich i thougt that i might break the easton when cranking on it to much flex for a bar.then i got the k-force man a world of differance it don't flex or bend when cranking on it.if u want a stiffer and stronger carbon bar then get this one 31.8mm clamp 630mm wide and u can't go wrong.5flamers for value and 5 flamers overall
