Shape is VERY reminiscent of the One Up bar.

Similar weight to OneUp bars too...

I've got some 20mm rise Oneup bars and early next week, I'll have some Cannondale ones to compare them to!

Received mine this week too. Very impressed with it for the price. Its nicer and lighter than my nukeproof horizon carbon bar.

Not fitted it yet mind but its definitely a good price.

Yeah, 30mm rise, which happily is what I want to try...

First ride on mine yesterday. Overall, I'm really glad I bought them.

Immediately noticed the extra width but after a couple of miles in the hills, I stopped noticing. I think they still need a bit of tweaking position wise. Will roll them forward a bit but otherwise, super happy with them.

I find it bizarre that the extra ~10mm of rise made such a difference to the feel of the bike when seated. It's always felt a bit skittish trying to manoeuvre when sat in the saddle but that seems to have improved with the extra rise. Exactly what I wanted.

Mine came in at 204g which is a nice saving off the 385g standard Orbea bars.

The likeness to the Oneup carbon bar was pretty much only in the photos. In real life, the Oneup bars are much slimmer at the point where they sweep.

To be honest though, after a couple of miles I forgot they were even there which I usually a good thing.

£40 was an absolute bargain in my option so thanks for the PSA.

Bumping this as a PSA - bought some this morning, so in stock. £40 seems a good price!

cut mine down to 780mm. 800 was far too wide for me. now i have less worries going through narrow gaps

I quite fancy a higher rise bar but I'm not fussed by having a carbon one. I'd prefer an alloy bar but I can't seem to find any deals close to this good on a nice alloy one anywhere.

Had mine for 3 months. Brilliant. Maybe it's placebo but it does feel "comfy" compared to alu.

I thought 800mm would be too wide from 780mm but no, it feels fine (I am 6ft1) - didn't hit any trees yet.

On paper, that seems amazing value for the quality and weight.
