yes I have these and like them a lot. I don't remember getting a particular deal on them but they were cheaper than Easton at the time.

Good bars IME. I have been using them for over two years now with no issues. Reduce some of the trail buzz but not too flexy altho Im starting to hanker for some slightly wider bars. Light, strong but not cheap!

I have two sets and they are superb... good width for cross country... a little narrow for freeride ish stuff...But light...knocks trail buzz on the head, but very stiff. ๐Ÿ˜€ Nice shape too... I've seen the same bar ( or looks ridiculously similar under the name IKE...Cheaper, but not for a while ๐Ÿ™

No problems with mine. 4 years on my Intense Spider. Occainsionally can feel a little flex but nothing to worry about and only if really honking (and maybe if you're 105kg like me).

Weren't cheap at time but no more than any other Carbons around then and wanted maximum Brit kit on my bike. Quad shape is a bit of a pain if you have lights/computer etc on bars. Maybe now another 5 to 10mm at each end would be nice?

Yep got one to and love it ,
spent ages playing around with different shapes and types and happen to buy a bike with one already fitted. 4 1/2 years later still using the same bar, for me the shape and fit are what i like.
