Summary: I bought this bar to replace my stock Cinelli Altera. The altera was never comfortable in the drops and the prima has much shallower drops and allows a better reach to the levers.
Strengths: Super light weight and stiff! 121 grams lighter than the Cinelli's. The front end instantly felt lighter and more responsive.
The fit for my hands is great and was able to stay comfortably in the drops
Weaknesses: NONE! I was going to replace my stem but no need now at the bar/stem combo is much stiffer now

Bike Setup: Colnago Asso with Principia fork, Dura Ace gears, USE alien seatpost, Oval Concepts stem, Cane Creek S2 aheadset, Ultegra STI and brakes, Mavic Cosmos wheels.
Summary: These are my first anatomical handlebars after riding Cinelli 65 for a long time. I decided to buy these bars after reading other reviews and they seemed to be very good value given their weight vs. cost ratio. I am not disappointed. They are very lightweight but are also very stiff. My only criticism is that the very end of the bars after the anatomical section is rather short for my largish hands.
Strengths: Very lightweight. Stiff. STI levers are very accessible.
Weaknesses: Anatomical shape may not suit some.

Summary: I bought this to allow a better transition for my hands from bar to brake hoods than I get with traditonal designs. In this matter, the bar works flawlessly. I very seldolmly use the drops so I haven't noticed any flex in the bars as have other reviewers. I weigh 185lbs and have pulled hard on the bars from the brake hoods when standing to climb and haven't had any flex issues.
Strengths: Great performance/weight/design for the price.
Weaknesses: None so far.
