    Price Paid: $45.00

    Strengths:cr-mo... wide... bmx flavour... brittish-they know how to make bikes these days!
    Weaknesses:foreign to the us, kinda landed on these by accident.
    Similar Products Used:no-name crossbar, crowbar, special stock stuff
    Bike Setup:'05 hammerhead, on one rigid 420 fork, redline flite II's, crupi pro square pedals, standard stem, sram xo rd, sram x9 gripper, avid bb7 brake and avid old school lever, hope hubs, fsa pig headset, tnt seatclamp, x-lite post, tioga lite cr-mo seat
    Bottom Line:cr-mo crossmember bars in a sweet satinized chrome... sure, titanium would be sweeter, but these are wide too-28"(compared with u.s. standard 24") plenty of room for the shifter and brake lever... these are stiff-almost... too stiff! :P

    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Purchased At:Freeride Mountain Sports
    Strengths:I have these bars on my 2005 Norco 4 HUN with a DMR Headstock stem. I love this setup for street riding.
    Weaknesses:I find these bars are wide and they hit off your knees a lot when your doing 180's, x-ups, and barspins.
    Similar Products Used:Truvativ Hussefelt 31.8
    Bike Setup:Stock 2005 Norco 4 Hun
    Bottom Line:I love these bars for street but if they were abit shorter it would be better.

    Favoriate Trail:Waterworks
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Purchased At:www.chainreactioncycles.com
    Strengths:Great street/dj bar. Strong, and not too heavy for something as strong as it is. Could also be used for racing 4X or things alike.
    Weaknesses:Had a bit of trouble trying to cut it down, its more of a good thing tho: it wore down the blade of the saw i was using, shows u how strong it is!
    Similar Products Used:Azonic Double Wall (D.W.) Riser Bar; some truavic dh one
    Bike Setup:Custom built DMR rhythm, rigid trailblade forks, Easton Vice stem, magura louise freeride front brake, 24seven supercross wheels
    Bottom Line:Great good for value bar. Is good for begginers or profesionals, and if u dont trust my opinion, just see how popular DMR are, and how many UK dirt jumpers use them!

    Date Reviewed: March 10, 2003
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Purchased At:Came with rhythm24
    Strengths:Strong, cut-down markers, strong, well made, give BMX feel which is always good if you're used too it
    Weaknesses:too long, need tilted back when they come stock on rhythm
    Similar Products Used:Tioga DH, X-lite Assasin, Club Roost, Bontrager Crowbar, WeThePeople on Thrillseeker (WTPBMX)
    Bike Setup:Stock DMR Rhythm 24 awaiting delivery of Fox Vanilla R forx
    Bottom Line:avoid if you don't like something a bit more traditional like xlite assasin, but i ride quite alot of BMX so i appreciate them but are far wider than any bmx h-bar ive come across, so the lines marked in appropriate places come in handy, i took an inch of cos i want to but a shifter on in the future so decided to go careful and it seems to have improvedn them 100% along with tilting them back, but if you tip them too far back be wary of coming off the back while jumping cos theyve got loads of sweep. X-lite assasins are loads nicer.

    Date Reviewed: September 2, 2002
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $15.00
    Purchased At:s/h from some dude
    Strengths:Lovely shape and BMX -style looks.
    Similar Products Used:Axiom Riser Bar
    Bike Setup:Giant MCM, Z5, Azonic Shorty stem
    Bottom Line:The 3-inch rise and good width gives a nice relaxed ride for tall people like me, especially as my frame has a short headtube. The grip section is parallel to the stem section, meaning a wide range of setup angles can be used. Sweep 'em back for cruising or forward for stunts'n'jumps.

    Feels very stiff and strong. I have a Alu version - about a pound in weight.

    Bottom Line:Used to ride BMX so I thought I would try these bars out, in short they are perfect. The width is just right and allows for better low speed control than other bars, good for lifting the front of the bike ,also they look great and will last forever (chromoly).
