perfect amount of rise, light enough

a little pricey

Granted I don't have much experience at this point. These bars were an impulse buy that were recommended by the shop guy. Fit me perfectly, feel great and improved my ride on the first day out. Didn't notice much flex, lighter than the stock bars I swapped out.

unbreakable, very stiff, perfect dimensions

The red anodized looks like pink and all my friends make fun of me.

great bar has outlived 3 frames and too many other parts to name I break alot of stuff. 6'1" 190 lbs tends to do that on a hardtail. I do alot of urban assualt and freeride, and this bar has been great, I dont think there is a single other part on my bike that has lasted as long as these bars, believe me thats saying something. I just wish I hadnt ordered the red one it is definately pink not red, but hey I guess thats my fault. reccomend for all types of riding but particularly where strength is important.

not too heavy for a riser bar (in fact about the same weight as my old stock flat bar)

there are lighter bars out there if you can aford the price

I bought this bar because the ride position was too leant over with my old flat bar.

I ride for fun only. The riser bar has made a huge difference to my comfort. Getting the ride position right for your body is very important. Don't do what I did and put up with stock parts thinking "I will get used to it". After 2 years I finaly decided to spend the money and fit a new bar. Should have upgraded 2 years ago!

My back ache has disappeared at once. Does not bend, and is not as stiff as to brake your arms. Fine.

Annodization may wear off but it happens with almost any bar

Although not the air alloy flat bar this is the 26 1/2 1 1/2 rise bar. This bar rawks. I love it. The width is great. I put it on Friday and raced the 24 hours of adrenaline crashing hard twice and it held up great. It's also a good price and well proven. Get one!

1 rise, super wide

might want to cut it down if you ride in brush or narrow trees. It looks lame with bar ends.

When I first purchased my bike it had a standard straight Syncros bar. I had to raise the seat so that it was 2 to 3 inches over the grips. This postition resulted in back pain and some serious crashes on the downhill sections of our races. I now have the Race Face Air Alloy bar with a one inch rise. What a difference! No more back pain and the small rise allows more control and less wieght over the front wheel. This bar was both higher and wider than the old bar so, it took some getting used to. The only problem I can see is that if you live in an area with trees and bushes you may want to cut it down a little. We have no trees here in Nevada so it's not a problem with me. 5 chilies.

Red turns to pink very fast

Fantastic bar BUT,I had an anodized red one and it turned Pepto-pink in just a few months. I couldn't stand to look at it anymore so off it came. I crashed hard with it a couple of times and it held up strong so I WOULD suggest getting one....but not the red one.

I own a set of turbine cranks and am very unhappy. The small chainring pulled
out of the spider, along with stripping all the threads. What should I do?
