a Recreational RiderDate Reviewed: April 27, 2008
Strengths: Stiff, light, really comfortable. Was worried about fit due to set back but now worries.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Great bars, upgraded rom Ritchey alloy comp and what a difference. Way stiff and super light, I actually have the SL version. Carbon is super vibration dampening, Scott feels like a Cadillac now, spec'd with Bontrager gel/cork bar tape. Decending fast was sketchy with old bars, now smooth and confident. Great bars.....

Strengths: Lightweight(42cm=220g),Ergo design, Comfortable,No flex,Large clamp area for clip-on barsWeaknesses: ExpensiveBottom Line: I first saw this bar on a Gerolsteiner demo bike at a race. I was able to get on the bike and at that moment, I knew this was the bar for me. Besides the frame, this is probably my second favorite part of my bike. In the past, I had problems with the Ritchey WCS OS aluminium model. I was not able to reach the levers that easily. With the Carbon Evolution, it's perfect. Instead of only the stem clamp area being oversized, the whole top is ovalized and larger to fit a wide range of hand sizes. The larger ovalized top section is an great feature while climbing in the saddle. While on the hoods, the bar slides right into my palms like a perfect fit. In the drops, I can find a comfortable position for extended pulls and brake/shift with no issues. While sprinting I notice no flex (but I'm just 145lbs also). The brake/shift cables route in the bars added grooves as well.
Favorite Ride: Long Up and then Long Down
