Strengths: CNT carbon feel and stiffness.
Drops reach is just right.Weaknesses: If you want to clamp on areo or Tri bars, these won't work for you really. The flat part of the bars won't take a clamp and your are not supposed to clamp on any of the taper sectionBottom Line: I got this to help with road vibration. I'm an mtb rider used to 140 mm of squish front and back.
It was a noticeable improvement. I still feel the bumps, but they don't resonate through the bars like alloy. Now, it's just one "bonk" when I hit something.
The areo flat area is nice to put your hands on when tired or climbing. I don't think there is much areo advantage really
Favorite Ride: Whatever NorCal winding road DH

Strengths: welcomed height. flat bar for hand placement is nice - I have larger than normal hands. Finding the sweet spot is difficult.Weaknesses: finding the sweet spotBottom Line: I refitted my 20 year old Davidson custom(oversized steel cromoly tubing). Due to my age (55) I needed to raise the handlebar so I increased bar height by replacing stem & bars and installing an adaptor quill. Used Easton al. stem mated with the carbon aero bars. Big change for me after 20 years. All feels the same except for welcomed increase in bar height. Don't know exactly what I was expecting but the net was no big differnce, did save minor weight. I do like the flat bars but they are a little difficult to adjust...must be positioned exact.

Strengths: Stiff, strong, good road feedback.Weaknesses: Not the prettiest bars. Limited adjustment.Bottom Line: Not the prettiest bars, but these are stiff and strong. Mated to my Thomson X2 stem, I get no flex and I am pushing 205 lbs. The flat top, which is more oval shaped than flat, is comfortable as long as you get the right angle. That tends to limit the amount of rotation you can adjust the bars though. I like the road feel, with feedback but not too harsh.
