Strengths:    Light. Good price.

Weaknesses:    This one snapped. What more can I say?

Bottom Line:   
I built my cross-bike a year ago using a brand new ERGO Pro bar. I ride approximately twice a week,on and off road. I hit the ground(offroad)hard(broken helmet)after the bar broke at the stem. The stem was brand new and in perfect condition when built. Going to have Performance take a look. May want to use for road only.

Strengths:    Lightweight, cheap

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
Wanted something lighter and a notch up in size for my Giant OCR. Being unable to afford a super-lightweight carbon fiber handlebar, this Performance product was the next best thing at only 30 bucks. I could even call it a poor man's CF bar! Installation was a breeze -- no tolerance problems with my bar, finish quality was very high. "Made in Italy" so I'm not sure who actually makes this bar, but I'm quite satisfied with the purchase. My end result was 2cm more length (better suited for my shoulder size) yet 70g less than my stock bar (250g weigh in). Good deal!

Strengths:    Surprisingly stiff (more so than my 3Ts) and reasonably light. Unbeatable price. Probably made by 3t or ITM anyway...

Weaknesses:    Right brake lever impossible to get tight on bar--tried on old bars again, fit fine, measured bar with calipers, no difference in diameter... HMMM? Not sure what's going on here.

Bottom Line:   
Bought to replace 3T Prima SL bars that were three years old, and was concerned they may snap on me (they recommend replacement yearly). On a tighter budget than before, and thought that bars could be a good place to save $$ without noticing a real different.
