very comfortable ergonomicaly, lightweight, less vibration than the previous alloy bar.

Cost- they retail for $300, and I dont think I would be as satisfied had I paid that much. I did get a good deal on ebay since they were a take off.

Decided to buy these for my commuter bike at first, since I hated the bar it came with. Ended up putting it on my non-commuter, group ride, event ride bike. They replaced the stock Bongtrager bar on my Trek 1500. After knocking down some miles, I can say Im very happy with these. They seemed to knock out some vibe issues I was getting in my right hand, and gave my hands a very ergo grip on the tops. the spacing between the ergo shape and the stem is perfect for my computer and a minewt light for those days when I need to see where Im going. They did flex a slight bit during steep out of saddle climbs. The drops were extremely comfortable, so much so that I actually enjoy being in the drops now.

Light, incredible control, fairly stiff, total comfort, perfect 83mm reach and compact, egg-shaped 135mm drop/bend is all the rage of 2010 bikes today.

Overdone graphics, high MSRP. Find a Madone owner parting his bike out and get these MUCH cheaper.

These 223g bars are the most comfortable and functionally "correct" ones I have tried...yet(and I tried them ALL!)

I came from huge, heavy, aluminum bars with a 150mm drop that just never felt right. No only did I lighten up my cockpit by 120g- the comfort factor of the flat, ergo blade tops is simply surreal.

Don't bother with the costlier Race XXX Lite bars, because they feel identical to these...except the cost.

I realize that combining any Bontrager/Specialized/Trek parts on a Cannondale is a cycling style Faux paux...but I dont care, they just work!

Control Tech Carbon Comp - heavier

FSA K-Force Carbon - good bar, on par
Ritchey WCS Carbon - cost and too many imitations

Very comfortable flat bar tops. Short and shallow - the way I like them.

Not as stiff as similar bars.

Bought on sale at Trek San Diego (half price!).

These bars are reasonably light, and the flat tops are very comfortable. They aren't super stiff, but I kind of like a little flex in my bars.
