Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by Suvacrew   on June 18, 2009   Pros Vibration, Vibration, Vibration dampening. Looks slick. Cons Only comes in black..I'm joking. A little difficult to get the ODI lock-on grips to grab. Verdict What a difference a good carbon bar can make. it helps filter out the myraid of frequencies coming through the bike into our bodies via our hands and arms. Definitely helps reduce fatigue. Intended for XC but I play the AM game with them without issue. reviewed by GoldenGoose   on May 18, 2009   Pros Light weight. Strong. Vibration dampening. Alignment indicator prinited on bars. Reinforced clamp zones. Thick clear coat layer to protect Carbon fiber underneath. Cons Expensive. Verdict Sweet carbon riser bars for people looking to lighten up the front end and get a bit of vibration dampening to boot. Not an item I would be brave enough to go hit major jumps with but fantastic for aggresive XC.
