$10.00 | | Purchased At: | REI | | Strengths: | A variety of positions to grab on. | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Trek 7000 | | Bottom Line: | I've used this bar on three of my bikes and I love it. You have a comfort position, a climbing position, a aero position. I use Tektro brake lever extenders to brake while holding the bar end area. I also customized it so that you can brake while in the aero position on a downhill ride. I have three of these bar and will never sell them. The best ever. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 10, 2002 | | Favoriate Trail: | All in resonable distance from my place. Colorado and Utah for holidays | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | Somwhre in Washingtom DC in 89 | | Strengths: | Perfect design : compact, multi hand position - including areo which can be used for relax you back on long rides - and definitely a wind occurs when X-C'ing.
The safety for bike control in bush and hand protection are incomparable - can thrust cow's horns without beeing one. | | Weaknesses: | Impossible to find a new one , or the spare parts - only one is necessary - but paramount - the BAR END CONNECTOR - this is a plastic part which eventually (is my case) will be cooked out afer some years of exposition riding conditions and sun. | | Similar Products Used: | NA | | Bike Setup: | Used it on three different bike it always worked well. | | Bottom Line: | Who knows where I can find a new one or replacement part (prefferebly) | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 8, 2001 | | Favoriate Trail: | Anywhere I can get | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$40.00 | | Purchased At: | Some bike shop in NY | | Strengths: | Very light, integrated bar ends, extremely durable | | Weaknesses: | Can't find them anymore. Could be a little wider. Curved bar ends make it more difficult to get shifters/brake levers on. | | Similar Products Used: | Cheap steel bars | | Bike Setup: | '97 Jamis Dakar, Manitou SX-R, XT/LX stuff, Avid brakes | | Bottom Line: | These bars are great. They have held up to 5 years of use, abuse, crashes, and the like. By now they look pretty nasty, but I won't trade them for anything. I've cut the bar ends down so they aren't so long, and it makes them even lighter and a little less dorky. Even cut down, they have all the positions I could want and make for a comfortable ride. The only complaints would be that getting control stuff on and off is a little more difficult and that they could be a little wider for broad shoulder people. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 7, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | mail order | | Strengths: | Very light design. Has proven to be a strong bar in my many crashes. I actually have the AT-2 which is a little lighter at 250g. | | Weaknesses: | I ever were to break these, I wouldn't be able to replace them since Scott doesn't make them anymore. | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager | | Bike Setup: | Klein Attitude Comp | | Bottom Line: | Nice design. Very light setup if you want barends since the bar and ends are all one piece.
Wish someone would make a similar product since Scott won't anymore. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 16, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Bottom Line: | I rode with these bars for about a year. They where great, although i wish for a little more angle on the upper grips. They even stood up to a hit by a car. The bike got toss 20' into the lane of traffic and the bars didn't bend, did scratch a little though. I upgraded to a cheap pair of steel one piece bars, lee chi's. They are cheap but the have the angles i want. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
