the stem meets bar – the area in which most carbon bars fail.

Pros
Love the ability of the carbon bar to take some edge off rough trails. Also the titanium anti-crush zone is useful for stems that aren't really nice to carbon.
Cons
Some of the decals are kind of obnoxious. I would have preferred a cleaner looking "naked" carbon look.
Review
A definite good buy for anyone looking for a strong, flexible bar for AM and XC riding.
Pros
Light weight and not too stiff..Great for long rides, your hands don't feel numb compared to aluminum models
Cons
Its carbon and it has a life..
Review
