[#7547741]

Not immediately obvious from the description but the black 777mm version are carbon, cracking deal for £20! I ordered assuming they were aluminium ones, didn't realise they were carbon till they arrived today. Have the aluminium versions on one of my bikes already and get on well with them so was getting a second set for the hardtail.

Edit: link would help....

With CRC it's always possible that some are carbon whilst others are alu, but I've given it a shot.

Thanks!

Bought. Looks like the 800mm are alloy and the 777mm carbon. Thanks.

The black bars pictured are gravitys CSI bar. Altogether different to the silver alloy gravity light bar. We run gravity lights on our dh bikes. I'd happily run the csi bar on anything.. But iirc, the csi bar was a rare thing in anything wider than 740mm!
20 quid for either bar is a great price

The pair I have here definitely measure up to the listed 777mm. The bar itself states Gravity Light, the sticker on the back also says CSI. What's the difference between the Light and CSI?

Csi is carbon structure integration (or someting simiar)
Its essentially a carbon wrapped thin alloy bar.
You can see the alloy inside if you look in the end.

They look very good. Good weight for the width. Might try these on a bike I'm building up for a mate. Thanks for the PSA t_d.

Well mine turned up today, carbon weave over alloy 309g on the kitchen scales, so no carbon light, but perfect for my new hardcore hardtail !!

They are indeed an alloy bar with a carbon wrap.

If you want to send them back then my guess is that you'll have to pay for return postage as they're too long to go Collect+
