Carbon Handlebar Road Bike RXL SL Drop Handlebar Carbon Fiber Bike Road Bicycle Handlebars 31.8 rxl sl Road Handlebars 40cm Drop Bar Handle Bar for Gravel Bike for Cycling

There's very little to dislike about this handlebar, aside from the importance of careful installation. I read/saw reviews of these here before installing and was careful about prep and also correct bolt torques. I used traction paste on the bars (sort of like a paste with little grit particles in it), and did a tiny amount of micro-shaping on the sharp square edges of the handlebar flanges in my stem. Just a little round off filing of those knife-edge stem flanges, where the stem edge can make a stress point for the handlebar if left there. I was delighted at being able to run my cables inside the bar, for a clean, sleek custom look. Again though, I did have to invest in a little cable/magnet tool here on Amazon, for guiding the leader thru the bar each time. I just love the ergonomics of this bar. At first I didn't fully comprehend, the key advantage of the bar's flat section. If one takes the time and effort to exactly position the brifters, you'll find you can literally use those flats as integrated 'highway bars' - without the weight and dorky look of those sticking out on your bike. It's a little cramped shoulder-spacing-wise when using them this way; but then so are highway bars. This handlebar is light as heck, but solid as a rock; and I've used it now for 6000 miles on my Aventon Soltera 7 which I converted into a road bike with this and a set of Shimano 2x7 brifters. Oh and the paint - glorious, brilliant in the sun, and supremely durable! Thanks for this wonderful product. I'd have paid twice as much or more - if knowing what I now know about how superior it is.

These bars are Great. So far I have 300+ miles on them. They feel great and are much nicer then the aluminum bars my bike came with. When on the drops, you can feel them ever so slightly bending to take up he shock when riding on a particular rough (cobble like) road during my weekly group ride. The flats have a slight angle to them that matches the natural bend of my writs. Also the area between the flats and leading up to the hoods also forms a comfortable shape for the meaty thumb area on your palm. Packing was well protected but difficult to unwrap, as if they employed a giant spider to wrap it in foam. Finish on the carbon is pretty good. The RXL SL is a decal or paint on top of the clear coat it can be removed but will take time. I had scratched some of it off to see but ended up being covered by bar tape. Normal bar tape plugs fit well and don't seem like they will work their way out. When running the cables be careful as there is unfinished carbon inside that will scratch your cables and housings. Also watch for splinters of carbon that might fall out if you have pets. If I were to do this again I would use old cable and housings to fish thru first then run the good cables. The shifter set used was a Shimano 105 5800 series and everything lined up pretty good. These are a great deal as similar name brand bars are over $200. I will not hesitate in the future to buy products from this company. [Update Sept 04, 2019] Still doing great! Over 1000 miles on them. Some of the graphics are wearing off due to use. But still taking a beating.

I like these so much that I bought them twice after the first pair cracked while getting bounced around on a bike rack behind a Sprinter XL van. I’ve ridden 1000s of miles on these bars, including a EuroVelo bike tour from Switzerland to the Straights of Gibraltar, across the Alps & the Pyrenees mountain ranges. They survived brutal climbs, wicked descents, chunky gravel, single tracking & even an unintentional railroad bed (there was no other way through). They were dissembled/ressemble multiple times for airplane travel across the Atlantic and the US and performed flawlessly. I appreciated the flat tops for those long days in the saddle when you need fight hand fatigue by changing up your grip from the hoods to drops & tops. Their light weight and internal routing compared to alloy bars make them a great value for money. They also did a great job packing the bars for shipment so that they arrived intact.

Qualité d'un guidon de 400 $ vendu par la compétition. Remplace très bien le guidon d'origine sur mon vélo de course que j'utilise 6 fois par semaine. Un produit que je recommanderais à tout les cyclistes sérieux.
