Easton Monkeylite SL Composite Reviews
Description: (
from eastonbike.com)
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.

Reviews
Pros
Strong and very light. Just enough flex to take the sting out from a hit.
Cons
None
Review
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
Light, Strong
Cons
Not cheap
Review
Old saying:
"Strong, light, cheap, pick two"
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.
Review
I would recommend this bar to just about anyone except downhillers and free riders.
