| FavoriteTrail: | burn mtn, watershed |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $25 |
| Purchased At: | some place I dont know where it is |
| Strengths: | good feel, fairly stiff, light, price |
| Weaknesses: | broke within first month, for those who give a dead chickens a$$hole what they look like the paint scratches easy |
| Bottom Line: | As far as the feel of this bar goes I was very happy with when I upgraded from the flat I broke just under a month ago. And I'd much rather pay the $30 canadian than $140 although I have yet to discover if it's worth it yet. Like I said in weak points they broke this past weekend, but it was in a hard bail on a 10 footer to near flat so I've bought another set and am going to give them another shot. Because they broke so soon they're getting a low rating but I'll return and update this when they either break again or I feel they've held up well enough to upgrade the flamin chilli factor |

| Bottom Line: | I did the review below this but i thought i'd do another one because this bar just snapped on me. The whole thing just gave way without warning, I am alive but only just! But closer inspection of the bar revealed that it had been cracked for a while already and all it needed was a little bump for the whole thing to snap in half. Looks okay but don't be too harsh on it, get an azonic bar or something cos this isn't a component you really wanna take chances with. |

| Purchased At: | Freedom Machine |
| Strengths: | Well it is wide, looks the goods, looks strong, and steers groovily |
| Weaknesses: | none so far i just bought the bar yesterday |
| Similar Products Tried: | no-name ones |

| FavoriteTrail: | Fish creek |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $19 |
| Strengths: | Thick Beefy Mac Truck couldnt hurt it |
| Weaknesses: | Little heavy |
| Similar Products Tried: | Nothing like this |
| Bike Setup: | GT Rebound LX Vs suspension seat post Freeride hardtail Judy XC 100 mills travel |
| Bottom Line: | This is the Strongest bar I have ever owned. I have taken this thing where no man has gone before and came back for more. The best part is that it only cost 19.95 Canadian. For you in the states thats about 5 bucks. Buy one, ride hard, enjoy the benifits of stiffness. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Durham Forest |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Strengths: | Heavy, SUPER strong, thick as hell nice rise |
| Weaknesses: | needs a shim (which mine didn't come with and I had to make myself) |
| Similar Products Tried: | Titec Hellbent, a bunch of no name bars |
| Bike Setup: | 96 Kona Hahanna set up for Trials |
| Bottom Line: | These bars are super nice, and I only paid $25 Canadian!! But I see why they were so cheap, cos they didn't have a shim. I had to make one myself. -1 chili for that. Other than that, these bars are super strong, nice rise, and bithcin' to look at. Only they get scuffed up real easy. |
