    Had mine a few weeks, superb. Ridiculously light but seem as strong as anything similar in alloy. Like the sweep and the 30mm offering.

    Despite being a tall lad with long arms, I find anything over 750mm just too wide even for full on DH. So I ignored the 12 year old trend whores on Pink bike and went for the old school 740mm to match my out dated 26″ wheels and they feel bob on.

    There is no doubting the top quality of Renthal stuff and they have the best bar geometry for me but there was absolutely no justification for me buying a set of £130 carbon bars except for pure bling!

    Nice.

    No. Too expensive compared to mt zooms and other equally good brands. They still continue to have the gawping gold colour on them too.

    Yep, in 740mm with a 40mm rise.

    Found them stiffer than the 711mm Easton Carbon DH they replaced, but lighter 177g vs 220g.

    Found them very flexible on my 160mm bike compared to alloy fatboars

    Use carbon bars on a fully rigid bike and love them, but struggled with them when pushing it into berms at BPW

    Will persevere and see if i can used to them
