These bars are advertised as very light weight and have the ability to be positioned in multiple ways to accomodate the riders body mechanics. I found both of these claims to be correct.

The bads seemed to become less comfortable over time. Cushion part of bars seemed to be not as comfortable as other brands over time. Although these are replaceable.

My team was given a grass roots sponsorship by Ritchey. As a result I was able to purchase these bars for an extremely low rate directly from the company. I have used these bars for one season both for training and racing. Races include 2 half ironman. I am preparing for my first Ironman race and have decided to go with something more comfortable and carbon.
