Well built although not quite as light as a number of other bars now available. | | Similar Products Used: |
stock bar that came with my 1990 Raleigh Peak. | | Bike Setup: |
1990 Raleigh Peak
RockShox Mag 20 | | Bottom Line: | This bar has proved to be extremely durable. I've owned it for 7 or 8 years and it has seen plenty of hard action in both Oklahoma and Michigan (in the winter). | Overall Rating: |

Nukeproof bar = BOMBPROOF BAR | | Weaknesses: |
A wee bit hefty | | Bike Setup: |
95 Zaskar LE (GT)
Syncros Cattlehead
Manitou EFC | | Bottom Line: | This bar is truly bombproof. The only problems I had with mine was installing it into the Cattlehead, but some bike shop magic and a screw driver and a dead blow and wha lah instant bike cockpit from heaven. As far as durability is concearned I have clipped and slammed into trees with this bad dad and it is as straight as day one. Good work Nuke ... Now why did you guys discontinue these things again? | Overall Rating: |

I'm giving these a decent review based on the opinion of a friend who races expert class and used to work for the coompany. He bent his in a wreck and is unable to replace them as far as he knows... anyone know where I can get one of these??? Thanks. | | Overall Rating: |

Excellent bars! You get a CF ride with AL durability - these bars are
harder to break than most ultralight aluminum ones. I don't know where
these other fools got their information, but I've been riding mine for
two years now, and besides having a slightly larger OD than typical
bars, the ride has been incredible! | | Overall Rating: |

I have run the same bar set for several years! These bars are indestructable and have been smashed, banged and downright disrespected without yielding. If the new bars are built the same, you won't be disappointed. | | Overall Rating: |

These are pretty neat bars, if you are shallow (as I have been known to be). The hard truth is that they aren't as durable as one would expect. One little wreck and my $50 was gone. Poof! My time of carbon fiber glory was shortlived. Don't make the same mistake. You're probably better off with a ho-hum aluminum dime a dozen type bar. | Overall Rating: |

This is one of the coolest looking bars on the market! It looks like
a snake skin and glistens in the sun. It's extremely light due the
fact it has an aluminum core ( for strength) wraped with carbon
fiber. It is also very stiff. I've had alot of people ask me
about it so it is very trick. Get one!!!!!!! | | Overall Rating: |
