Are they any good? They've been around for a couple of years now so there should be some useful opinions out there. Very good price (if you want them in white! 😉 )

Very good price (if you want them in white! )
Only if you want them 'hard'. I think I'd go for 'chewy' if I bought another pair.
My chewy ones take the sting out of my rigid fatbike. Great bar at £40.
They are great
I've had mine for a couple of years now and ridden and raced DH and Enduro on them, they are quite stiff in hard and good width and sweep, even have nobbly bus in clamp area so you don't have v to overtighten
Strong, light and cheap
Would buy again for sure and I like the white
No complaints 🙂
I'd prob go for the hard to be honest, I like a stiff cockpit (lol!)
Bought Chewy black 747s back in the summer for cheaper than that. 😉
Even with the fat JJs and especially with the FatNotFat Marathon Cross, the bars do remove buzz on rough tarmac.
Chewy ones are £59
Not very wide are they?
And this kids, is why I call them DFS, they were £34! 😯 😆
I like mine. Only had them a few months though so I couldn't comment on longevity.
Had two pairs of the 777mm hard for a couple of years, haven't snapped yet unlike my Scandal...got them for £30 in one of their frequent sales
My Mrs is on her second pair (too much crash damage to the first pair). I got them in chewy to try and help with her carpal tunnel - they may well have helped a bit.
The newer ones have a nice satin finish, which looks spot on with her matt carbon frame 🙂
cheap too, if you wait for a sale.
nasty graphics though 🙁
Ive a pair of the 777mm version.
They're very stiff*. I'd happily buy a second pair if I needed some.
*not sure how much people would actually notice though if they weren't told there was a chewy version.
Swapped in a set of 'chewy' Knuckleball and I felt alot more vibration.
Swapped back to Truvativ Noir T40 carbons and much happier again. Much better ride on XC stuff on my wrists. Quite a big difference. My bike has a carbon frame (456 Evo) and solid forks (Lurcher) and I ride XC with alot of high speed gravel.
The Truvativ look thinner walled to me and more XC for people who go 'mountainbiking', the Knuckleball's more beefy for people that use 'trail' and 'enduro' in their vocabulary and perhaps need the wall thickness. Good product though. You can get the Truvativ discounted at the same price, but not as wide, if wide is your thing.
ive got a truvativ noir surplus to requirements 700mm i think, if anyone wants to make me an offer 🙂
sorry if ive hi jacked, id swap for some wider knucklebars
