$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Light, inexpensive, good up and back-sweep. | | Weaknesses: | Doesn't say Easton, FSA, or Race Face on it. | | Similar Products Used: | Easton EA50, Bontrager Crow Bar | | Bike Setup: | Turner Burner, Titus Riddler | | Bottom Line: | Works great and at its price is an excellent value. I really like the bend and up-sweep, it just fits naturally to your hands. I like it so much, I run it on both of my bikes and have one on my wife's bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$67.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Damn..the price to start with, it's also light, approp rise/reach with a great feel. | | Weaknesses: | Anearlthy component with carbon..aren't we all?? | | Similar Products Used: | Years of EA and EC bars, stems and seta posts | | Bike Setup: | Sugar 1, XT, BB7s, X717 Mavics...26.5 LBs of dirty love. | | Bottom Line: | Previous poster had it....no "forte" all over it!! Half the price of EC 70-90 components, saves those grams w/o breaking the bank and gives you the added shock dampening of carbon fiber products. Performance has it's gems on occassion. this is one of them. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$45.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Light, good width, Does NOT have "Forte" pasted all over it | | Weaknesses: | Absolutely none | | Similar Products Used: | alloy risers of various brands | | Bike Setup: | Fisher 4" Cake, Cane Creek disc wheels, Z1 FR SL fork, avid mechanicals | | Bottom Line: | There's no reason to avoid this handlebar. It's light, stiff, sexy and ridiculously cheaper than other brands when it's on sale now and then. Finally, they released a product that does not have the lame Forte name all over it. I am happy to own and fully recommend this product. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
