Strengths:    range of adjustment
comfort


Weaknesses:    weight

Bottom Line:   
I have a couple thousand miles with these on the bike. I like the comprehensive adjustability and the comfort. They are sturdy enough, some twisting but nothing excessive. It seems like they weigh as much as my old Century aerobar - the bars themselves are very light, but the clamps are huge aluminum castings. I take them off for anything more than rolling hills.

Strengths:    Comfortable grip, easily adjustable, attractive appearance, supports profile drink system.

Weaknesses:    Bolts rust from sweat. Plastic arm rest feel week (the armrest broke while I was riding).

Bottom Line:   
Used with care I believe this is good for those who are willing to take the time to be fitted properly. I would not recommend this product if you have a weak abdominal section or tight hamstrings.

Strengths:    Fairly stiff, lightweight, super adjustable and comfortable

Weaknesses:    The only problem I've had is that the carbon started to chip near the mounting bracket

Bottom Line:   
These bars are pretty aweosome. Ive used them for over a year and they have served me well. They are really comfortable and so adjustable that it seems like I can tweak them just that much more.

Date Reviewed: August 13, 2004

Strengths:    Very light, nice elbow rests and the contoured grip is perfectly shaped. The length and rotational adjustment makes fitting a no compromise event.

Weaknesses:    Already a recall on a part, Does Profile design do this a lot?

Bottom Line:   
Light weight, easy to set up, rigid and the infinite adjustability is only a problem because I keep thinking I can tweak them a bit more.
