$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. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
