Easton HAvoc Carbon is great, hae two, recently picked up an Enve 800 which is srupidly wide but I like it that wide and might keep it.

I've ridden the same uplifts on the same bike with carbon and alu bars, and definitely had fewer blisters and less hand pain with carbon. Worth the money for me.

Easton. Especially for carbon seeing as they have been making carbon bars for give or take the longest.

I have Carbon havocs and havens. have crashed both hard and they haven't instantly imploded as the nay sayers will have you believe.

The new 35mm Havoc Carbon 800mm is stupidly stiff and incredibly light and worth it IMHO if you are going both bar and stem.

I'm getting one. Is it OK to cut them with a fine blade large hacksaw and a hanky over your mouth?

Be wary then, might not be room to mount shifters and brakes if you cut 750s down that much

I've just googled the Exotic bar's and they are only £60. Also available in 680 for Jedi, and 710 for me off the shelf.

Anyone use them - I'd be interested to know of the quality...
