    Strengths:    Looks. Comfort. Weight.

    Weaknesses:    The very ends of the bars are a little bit flexy.

    Bottom Line:   
    I have used the Ritchey Pro, WCS Aluminum, WCS Wet Black, before switching to the Evo SL Carbon. I haven't been able to tell any differences between them. The Evo. has a bigger diameter, which I didn't think I would like as I have smaller hands, but have found I DO like it. I didn't really notice any reduction in vibrations either, which was a disappointment. There might be a little, but if I have to think about it that hard, then there probably isn't. One thing I do really like is the ergonomics over the other bars. It "sweeps" back on the top ever so slightly and the drop is shallower which I really like. Plus I saved -70 grams over the Wet Black Aluminum.
    Considering the price I paid, I think the better ergonomics and weight savings was mostly worth it. Paying any more, I don't know if it would be.
