$25.00 | | Purchased At: | QBP | | Strengths: | unbreakable, very stiff, perfect dimensions | | Weaknesses: | The red anodized looks like pink and all my friends make fun of me. | | Similar Products Used: | answer, generic crap, | | Bike Setup: | kona scab, race face, blah blah truvative blah, sram, ZYZZX, blah blah steel hardtails rock | | Bottom Line: | great bar has outlived 3 frames and too many other parts to name I break alot of stuff. 6'1" 190 lbs tends to do that on a hardtail. I do alot of urban assualt and freeride, and this bar has been great, I dont think there is a single other part on my bike that has lasted as long as these bars, believe me thats saying something. I just wish I hadnt ordered the red one it is definately pink not red, but hey I guess thats my fault. reccomend for all types of riding but particularly where strength is important. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$47.00 | | Purchased At: | beyondbikes.com | | Strengths: | Strong as an ox
perfect width, rise, and sweep (hi-rise version)
comfy
| | Weaknesses: | heavier than carbon | | Similar Products Used: | Icon flat bar, Easton carbon CT2 flat bar, Specialized low-rise, Easton Monkeylite carbon low-rise | | Bike Setup: | (1) Redline monocog frame; RF cranks, stem, hi-rise bar; thomson post; Sun Rhynolite/Superstock wheelset; Selle Italia Saddle; SID XC fork; Time pedals (2) Gunnar Rockhound frame; RF cranks, stem, hi-rise bar; XTR/Rhynolite wheelset; thomson post; Selle Italia saddle; XT drivetrain; 'Zoke Z2 Atom 80 fork; Time pedals | | Bottom Line: | I liked this bar so much on my ss that I ditched a Monkeylite carbon riser off my XC hardtail for another RF hi-rise. Being an ss'er, I tend to get out of the saddle and crank hard uphill, even on the gearie - this bar does not flex and I feel like I get a lot more torque to the pedals than I ever did without it. The 26.5" width is perfect for my size and riding style (and the wide-open desert conditions around here - it may be too wide for narrow, tree-lined trails) and the 9 degrees of sweep makes the bar fit in my glove like...well...a glove. Even at $47, I think this bar is a bar-gain (bad pun, sorry), when you consider that a monkey lite costs more than double that. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | Chain Reaction Cycles | | Strengths: | This is the Air Alloy DH bar. Beautiful width, rise, sweep. Stiff and precise. Excellent machining. It feels just right! | | Weaknesses: | My bar snapped within 2 weeks. The light expensive alloy perhaps doesn't have a high fatigue resistance, but i bought another one anyway cos it feels so perfect! I crashed on a set of doubles at high speed and bounced 30feet with my bike somewhere behind. The impact on the ground snapped the bars.

The most perfect feel from a riser, ideally suited to a freerider or downhiller looking for factory spec stiffness and feel without an excess weight penalty. For dirtjumping....i think u guys might bail a little too much! These are as used by factory DH teams. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I want to try out somethign wider on my DH bike and would imagine that after 2.5 years of pretty heavy abuse that even a tough bar like this might be getting pretty tired.

Westcott | | Strengths: | Width, rise, sweep, weight, stiffness | | Weaknesses: | Cost | | Similar Products Used: | stock spesh bars, stock marin bars, azonic doublewalls | | Bike Setup: | Kona Kikapu, Z1 X-fly | | Bottom Line: | I couldn't believe the difference these made to my riding. The width is great, gives you so much control, and the sweep brings the grips comfortably to your hands. They do flex a little, but this absorbs some trail chatter and adds a certain natural flow to your riding.
They are perfect for XC thrashing (ups, downs, rocks & singletrack) and thew low rise is enough to ease lower back pressure without turning your bike into a harley davidson.
Fantastic bars, just a tiny bit expensive (the apparently excellent monkey bars are £13 cheaper after all). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I wanted more control with risers and these were a very good choice. I was too hunched over with flats and these are much better for my back.
They are expensive and a bit heavy but they are a pro level DH Bar. They offer more control and are more comfortable. They didn't seem to disadvantage me when climbing.
If you want this type of riser and can afford it get it.

not too heavy for a riser bar (in fact about the same weight as my old stock flat bar) | | Weaknesses: | there are lighter bars out there if you can aford the price | | Similar Products Used: | Titec flat bar | | Bike Setup: | Giant | | Bottom Line: | I bought this bar because the ride position was too leant over with my old flat bar.
I ride for fun only. The riser bar has made a huge difference to my comfort. Getting the ride position right for your body is very important. Don't do what I did and put up with stock parts thinking "I will get used to it". After 2 years I finaly decided to spend the money and fit a new bar. Should have upgraded 2 years ago!

One of the best handlebars I have tried, no flexing, strong and ( seriously ) improves the bike's handling.
Well one reason could be that it is wider than my Kalloys, makes the bike easier to flick around corners, and gives more breathing space.
And oh, one more thing. You wouldn't need to worry about snapping this bar. It's stronger than you ;)

After being used to risers I found getting back on the GT made me too low so decents were tricky and the steering twitchy. I bought the Raceface riser and the bike's handling has been transformed. I think that the whole reasons for using flat bars for racing is simply not true. I can climb just as well with the risers as flat bars and bar ends and the decents are just way easier. Plus I think my breathing is better now. Raceface are just one make of bars and they look good and perform well. I can't say any noticably better than the Titec's on the other bike but after all it's only a tube with a kink in it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
