Date Reviewed: February 12, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | Stock on my 2001 Trek Fuel 90 Disk - Earl's Cycle (closed 2003) | | Strengths: | At almost 6 seasons of useage and a little over 9,000kms it's not let me down. | | Weaknesses: | None. | | Similar Products Used: | Cheap steel bar that came stock on a $200/1994 Raleigh Matterhorn, a wooden broom handle (yes, an actual wooden broom handle that lasted for 80% of a regular ride & then I called for back-up to take me home). Stock aluminum GT bar on my $800/1996 GT Ricochet & then replaced with a Pazzaz DH riser bar with brace. | | Bike Setup: | 2001 Trek Fuel 90 Dsik. | | Bottom Line: | This review is for a stock *Bontrager Race Modified 620 handlebar* that came on my 2001 Trek Fuel 90 Disk on July 02,2001. It's sofar the best handlebar I've used to date.
Bottom Line: Plenty of space for Yeti softgrips, Hayes HFX 9 XC brake levers, Shimano Deore LX shifter pods, BLT Metrino 15 night light mounts, Planet Bike Protege 9.0 cyclocomputer and a Delta Air-Zound II horn! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 6, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | 40 | | Strengths: | Light. | | Weaknesses: | Light, weak, expensive | | Bike Setup: | CUBE team litening, sram 9.0, Magura Louise front, HS silver back, TIME pedals, Raceface Turbine LP, TA Specialites chainrings, ritchey seatpost and stem, sram 9.0sl hub with x517. No shimano. | | Bottom Line: | This bar will probably not break right away but you should be careful using lightweight products like this. After 2 years of abuse on my xc-bike there were a clear mark from the stem. This don't happen with properly dimensiend bars (like a cheap ritchey flat-bar). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | The Bike Rack | | Strengths: | Not a featherweight but no pig. Very strong bars, I'm a clydesdale. Bontrager knows his stuff! | | Weaknesses: | No thank you. | | Similar Products Used: | Icon, and Titec. | | Bike Setup: | '99 Trek 8000, full XTR, Hayes disc, Time pedals, and Sid fork. | | Bottom Line: | Great set of bars, they feel good and have no flex issues. They are pretty cheap to replace if you crash them. Although I have crashed them pretty hard and they are still as good as new. Solid performer for the money. For you weight geaks try one of this h-bar's lighter brothers. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
