I'm looking for a set of flat bars amongst other things at the moment and quite like the look of the Mt Zoom kit.

Does anyone use their stuff?

Is it any good?

I have a set of their 740mm wide flat carbon bars on the front of my epic 29er. I am very impressed with the bars, no noticeable flex in use. My wife has a set of their Ultimate carbon bars on her bike, in comparison they have a bit more flex to them, although only weigh 85g.

I'm currently testing the 740mm flat bar. Claimed weights are accurate.

Was a bit nervous about using it when it arrived as it just seems too light for All Mountain use. Have fitted it to an Orange Gyro with a 50mm stem, seems to be very stiff so far, was anticipating it to be a bit flexy tbh. And I will eventually pluck up the courage to hit some DH trails soon ๐Ÿ™‚

Shape is pretty nice, nice bit of backsweep but also feels like it has a bit of downsweep to begin with, which it doesn't, just takes a few rides to get used to it.

people seem to like them - for lightness as far as I can see; don't know if they make harder-wearing kit as well

assuming you're a xc racer I bet it'll be just fine

Have got one of their 5g seatpost clamps and a couple of the 9g ones - not that they make any difference ๐Ÿ™‚ - and they have been fine. Good service from XCRacer as well.

I've got some of their riser bars and they've been grand!
