    Date Reviewed: October 18, 2003
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $25.00
    Purchased At:ebay!
    Strengths:look cool - I got the candy red anodized - head turning bars! Strong and light and have an excellent bend angle.
    Weaknesses:too much of the cool colour gets covered up by controls and grips : >
    Similar Products Used:Kore
    Bike Setup:Dawes FS Team, Wildgrippers, aiming for a good XC softail
    Bottom Line:OK, OK, I bought them coz they look soooooo cool and were going brand new for a great price on ebay.

    But they ARE great bars and I didn't even bend them when I crashed heavily into a steel fence post! Just a small mark in the anodizing - and on my first day out with them! Doh!

    I also fitted X-Lite matchiong bar ends to complete the pimped out look...

    Submitted by bamf a from UK
    Date Reviewed: September 13, 2000
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Strengths:They work
    Weaknesses:None
    Similar Products Used:Orange Hot Rod
    Bike Setup:Orange Clockwork, Pace RC-25's
    Bottom Line:They work perfectly. Reasonably light, reasonably priced, I haven't bent them (yet).

    The rise is lower than some bars (only 30mm) so may not appeal to all riders.

    Date Reviewed: October 30, 1998
    Bottom Line:
    I can't believe I'm the first person that is writing something about these great handlebars. For the first cross country specific bar X-lite have done themselves proud. Not the biggest rise, yet super super light and super super comfy. A class bar worth fitting, and well worth the £37 price tag. Being the complete dumbasrse that I can sometimes be I waited far to long before buying them. But Now that they finally sit proud clamped in my stem, I have no intention of disturbing them. X - Lite what can I say. Thank You. Finally I can ride in comfort.
