| Strengths: |
-Very Stiff feel
-Absorption qualities
-Hot Looks
-Great Value
-Good weight loss |
| Weaknesses: |
None |
| Bike Setup: |
Giant NRS, XTR everything (Deore shifters tho), Stans No Tubes, 959 Pedals the usual works. Any Hutchinson Tyres |
| Bottom Line: |
WOW!
Fantastically light, looks fantastic and feels even better. Over rough stuff I find the handle bars absorb some of the vibrations etc. There is less stress feeling in my hands/arms post ride thanks to the bars.
They are darn stiff indeed, feel stiffer than my Titec Hellbents anyday! Light weight is great too!

| Strengths: |
Very stiff, great looking, very light |
| Weaknesses: |
the desing is a bit disco, could be improved (not as good looking as Easton) |
| Similar Products Tried: |
Very desapointing Profile Fiber XC |
| Bike Setup: |
Only the best... |
| Bottom Line: |
I bought this handle bar as a replacement for a faulty Profile. This bar is light and could easly be considered the best flat carbon bar out there. The only bar that I would change this one with is a Easton Monkey Lite (carbon) Riser but my stem (old classic Syncros) will not let me do that... Bottom line I have absolutely no complains with this product. |

Performance |
| Strengths: |
Sweet looks, weighs the same as Easton EA70 carbon, less expensive for me match price with Performance. Strong, stiff and did I say sweet looking. |
| Weaknesses: |
The scary warning on the bars (everywhere) about not overtightening and no using bar ends. I don't use them anyway. |
| Similar Products Tried: |
Easton CT2, IRD shotblast. |
| Bike Setup: |
Airbonrne Lucky Strike, Manitou Black Elite Air w/lockout, King hubs and headset, FSA carbon pro crankset, Ultimate Extreme ti ISIS bottom bracket, and stem, WTB Rocket, , Stealth saddle, Avid mag, Egg Beaters, Hutchinson Python Air Light w/Stan's, Paul Love Levers, Salsa Shaft seatpost, SRAM 9.0 halfpipe shifters and rear der. |
| Bottom Line: |
I got a great deal and I needed another bar. I am glad I puurchased the product and it matches the FSA stem to a "T" |
