Will i die? – RSP Ego DH carbon bar

Just came across this from Raleigh for £65.

780mm, 15mm rise, 9 sweep and 5 up, 208g

Anyone got one?

Will i die?

Of course you will. We all will.

As for the bar, it’s a bar.

I knew a guy had one of those, yup, he didn’t make it 🙁

Give it a go, what’s the worst that could happen. Right now I’m wavering over some 165g MT Zoom jobs with similar fears of death or at least pain 🙂

mather01 did you buy these? or has anyone else?

Superstar have 25% off controls for the month – their carbon bars are nice – and I’ve already repeatedly crash tested one for you.

Yokaiser – no, opted for something with a higher rise

I’ve the Superstar, the RSP and the On one knucklebar for consideration. The branding or lack of on the Rsp bar is favourite.

I considered the on-one 747mm bar before I got the kinesis R750. The Kinesis has the preferred sweep and rise which is why I got it over the on-one

Kinesis is a nice bar, I’m wanting to try 780mm, currently have 725 and would like to try wider.

I’ve ordered one, as it is right on the money size and dimension wise for me. If I die, you’ll know it was no good 🙂

Bars came today – they look and feel like a bar. All good. And only 49 quid online

Where did you get them from M6TTF?

Parkers of Bolton

Did anyone get these? Or are you all dead?

🙁

I bought one, more than happy. Nice and subtle logo’s and its worked without fail and I’m not dead. A week in Spain, a weekend in Torridon and a good few other days out.

I’ve got some.Slightly odd sweep means you have to roll them back quite a lot which shortens the reach a bit.

Pay a tad more and buy Easton.

Pay a tad more and buy Easton.

Or pay double?

Bought one. Have ridden exactly the same as before, including crashing. It’s fine. Feels nicer; slightly more give and less buzz than the OE alloy bar. Would recommend.
Fwiw it’s not visibly as pretty as the £200 Zipp Carbon bar on my cross bike but it’s perfect for being a bar.

I’ve also got an ENVE sweep bar…there is no discernible difference in feel.

Encouraging.. Anyoe compare them to some nice alloy bars, like Kore OCDs Spank 777s etc?
