Their marketing could do with some work, it doesn’t sound like they put that much development in to the carbon bar and they are probably the same bars from Taiwan as other manufacturers use, just with Renthal’s approval… but that being said I’d probably buy some if the need arose. They do look nice 😀
You need to be careful buying very light, carbon handlebars. – Ian Collins, Renthal, January 2012
From the data acquisition, it’s very clear that you’re never going to break a carbon handlebar in normal use. Your body weight against the handlebar will never snap one, even with the weakest ones on the market, the breakages come from crashes
We never like to follow fashion for the sake of fitting in with what our competitors are doing
It wasn’t really a decision for us, it was a must. We’re obviously a premium-level brand and if you don’t have a carbon product in your lineup, then you’re not fulfilling what the brand can do
