Description
The world's lightest XC riser bar is now even stronger thanks to Easton's CNT Enhanced Resin System. Carbon nanotubes are added to strengthen and toughen the resin matrix. The result is the most advanced carbon bar on the planet.

Model/Year: 2010

Pros: Strong
Lightweight

Cons: None

Recommendation: The carbon has enough flex to take away the annoying trail vibrations, but is still stiff. You cannot feel the flex even when torquing on a climb.

Pros: Strong and very light. Just enough flex to take the sting out from a hit.

Cons: None

Recommendation: Great bar, the added CNT which is a micro filler of carbon in the resin is a great idea making this bar even stronger without added weight. Anyone who is an avid XC rider could benifit from this but at a price.

Pros: This handlebar is very strong for its weight and looks great as well. I can feel the difference in dampening compared to my previous alloy bar. Not too flexy on uphill grunts.

Cons: A little pricey.

Recommendation: I would recommend this bar to just about anyone except downhillers and free riders.
