Good value. Appear to be well made. Look great - I opted for the version with minimal graphics. Hard to do an accurate back-to-back test but these bars do feel as if they absorb more of the road shocks than the OEM aluminum Specialized bars. Am very pleased with them. Mounted on a Specialized Tero 5.0 set up as a gravel bike.

Ends are not the sane size my bar ends only fit into one side the other side is smaller so I guess it's not made right so now I can only have one end covered o well other then that they seem ok so far it's only bin a day one ride

Being an ergonomic geek liked the choices for width and rise. Incredible strength and weight. I remember not so long ago paying 300+ easily for this quality. Recommended.

Good upgrade from weak aluminum barsReally stiff and don’t flex but the finish is not very strong and scratches easily would still recommend

These bars appear to be a good value. Reasonably light weight. Durability is still to be determined. I installed a 680mm set on my kid’s 26” bike. Bars did not have many noticeable flaws. Some of the printing of the alignment marks was a bit fuzzy, but other than that, finish appeared to be consistent and smooth.Installation was easy, but like with all carbon bits, proper torquing procedures are a must. Unequal torque can crack carbon when force is applied so follow the torque specs in the product description.

Just got my bar in. I ordered the plus 3k matte bar in grey. It’s light as hell and is noticeably different. And the bar looks nice only issue is I ordered the 700mm model but the one I received measured in 722mm and the diameter is a bit wider than 22.2mm. The measurement is off, but i don’t minde the extra 20mm.So far I am giving this a 2 star review even though it looks nice after putting it on my bike and setting it up. I have to say I heard some crackling already just from sitting on the bike. Overall, I do not trust that this bar won’t send me over and snap on me. Willing to change my review upon first ride. Will updateThese Chinese carbon bars are really hit or miss guys.Update 1: these held up for casual and easy trail riding and some downhilling. Definitely worth the 30 bucks

Mounted this to a stem from same company and super happy with both.Torqued to 5 nm along with fiber paste and after 20 hours or riding nothing has slipped or moved.Did have to saw off about 1.5" from each end, no issues there via a hacksaw and some foamy soap.Ride mainly in NYC so mostly road work with a lot of not so smooth road. Still feels solid and have no complaints.

These bars are extremely lightweight (they're carbon), stiff yet much more comfortable with vibrations at speed than aluminum bars (they're carbon), but the extremely low price has me nervous to put them on my trail bike, which takes more abuse than I trust them with (they're carbon). I read lots of bad reviews of cheap, knockoff carbon bars like these (which are fantastic, BTW) and was nervous to break them on actual MTB trails where bars see extreme abuse and crashes and all the real excitement bikes offer. I'm also 6'3 190 lbs, and tend to be a little harder than average on equipment than most, mainly because I'm a bigger dude. For that reason I'm keeping aluminum bars on my trail bike for now while waiting for a good deal on some more high-end carbon bars for that bike. HOWEVER, I have these on my Cross-Check and my girlfriend has them on her Bridge Club, and for super-commuting, gravel road bombing, and light-duty flow trails they are awesome. So light, so comfortable, and just a great value for a carbon bar. These are basically great for all the riding I do that isn't actual trails, and they might even be great for that! If you're lighter and more careful than I am. I also recommend you invest in a torque wrench now if you don't want to invest in handlebars yet.

I have recently purchased a new full suspension MTB (Motobecane Hal6) and needed to shed some weight. The handlebar it came with was little too wide and heavy.What I like:- Much lighter than my aluminum bar.- The width suits me much better than the one that came with the bike.- Seems sturdy so far. I will update if it fails.- I like the color and it matches their seat post nicely.Minor nuisance:- The only thing I have a little problem with is that the markings on both sides of the bar are not entirely symmetrical to the center. Looks little odd when you look at both grips at the same time but not a deal breaker to me.I would buy it again as overall it seems like a very good value and I would recommend without hesitation.UPDATE:I took a hard fall doing downhill biking and the handlebar survived just fine. I cannot say the same for me ;-)Still works great for me,

MOUNTED: on a Specialized stump jumper 2016REASON: Upgraded bike and Hands started to go numb really bad and fast. Bike shop suggested I get a riser handlebar since i didn't have that problem before with the last bike and had it for 5 years.This one seems like the perfect hight about 18mm difference. I personally don't think you need more than that, If you do need a higher reach then think spacers, handlebar, stem and so forth.LOOKS: what can I say AWESOME carbon look.WEIGHT:Original handlebar 11.5 ozCarbon handlebar 5.9 ozSeems like a minimal difference but wait till you hold both. Jaw dropping. Not the reason why I bought it but is a big plus.Some people said it was very tapered at the end.... not my case. Gear shifters, brakes, seat dropper and grips fit just as factory no issues.WIDTH: Original 750mm New carbon 730mm perfect for my need.Again I was coming from that size so to me it was perfect. I did feel the original stumpy was really wide and I smacked a few trees when going really close. But that's just me because of what I was used to and this one seems like a perfect fit. ((I went from a 2012 Scott spark full suspension FYI))I think this is a well made product. Haven't had much time to test but only time will tell. For under $40 I think is a steal and an excellent upgrade if needed.I think if I didn't need a raised handlebar I would have never Bought it, but since the swap I've seen many improvements like FIT, LOOKS, HANDLING,
