Date Reviewed: March 13, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Lighter weight, 27" wide, 7075-T6 riser bar, comfortable geometry. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Answer, Azonic, Profile, Easton | | Bike Setup: | '01 Bullit, XT/XTR drivetrain, Hayes hydraulic brakes, WTB LaserDisc DH wheels, WTB Momentum headset, WTB MotoRaptor 2.4 DS tires, Koski Bar, Stem, and Saddle, '00 Marzocchi Mr.T | | Bottom Line: | The bars are GREAT! The 12° backsweep with the 5° upsweep allows for the perfect positioning with a 27" wide bar. They are very stiff, and are a good looking. Aside from the drivetrain and brakes, its an all California company bike. These bars are perfect for the "Freeride" type who has a longish travel bike that can be ridden uphill. They aren't as burley (heavy) as the Koski DH bars I have, but have the same geometry. If you are in need of a bar upgrade I would consider seriously these Koski XC Pro Gold Edition bars. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
