    Favoriate Trail:Allaire State Park
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $60.00
    Purchased At:Blue Sky Cycling, Online Bike Shop
    Strengths:Light, Strong, Comfortable as anything
    Weaknesses:None so far
    Similar Products Used:Bontrager crapb....I mean crowbar, Specialized Bars
    Bike Setup:'06 TREK 6700, WTB TXC riser bar, Thomson 100mm 10 degree stem, Shimano 520 Clipless, Odi Lock-Ons
    Bottom Line:These are some great riser bars. They are extemely comfortable and great for riding technical type stuff. They offer alot of control. They come a little long but, using a pipe cutter, I took an inch and a half off of them and now they are perfect for my type of riding. They are also a little more pricey than most of the aluminum bars out there but if you shop around you can find a pretty good deal on them. It might be too early to tell, but I think these bars are gonna remain on my bike for a long, long time.

    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $79.00
    Purchased At:LBS
    Strengths:1.5" riser with nice sweep back angle for all day riding, with very little flex
    Weaknesses:A little long, but an easy fix with a pipe cutter. Very little room for anything else but the grips, shifters, and brake levers.
    Similar Products Used:Bontrager Crow
    Bike Setup:Fisher Cake '05, XTR drivetrain, Thompson stuff (you know what I'm talking about...), OEM brakes and wheelsets.
    Bottom Line:Nice 1.5" riser bar with a comfortable sweep back angle, and does not flex when you hand stand on the bars. A bit pricey for an aluminum bar, but I'm a true believer for what-you-get-what-you-pay-for. Perfect for XC and freeriders, but skeptical on DH use.
