Would you trust these on a downhill run?

Carbon Fiber rizer handlebar 31.8 x 680m

at 680m wide I reckon it's future proof.
and advertising it like this
This Carbon Fiber handlebar is one of the best gifts to your friends

doesn't sound good, try it on your mates teeth first

Hey Paul,

Interesting, but personally I would not take the chance on a DH bike or any in fact. I'm sure they would be OK, but handlebars are really an important area. Would want to know that they meet certain standards.

I often see the reference to "high quality" carbon fibre, yet I'm not really sure what this definition means.

Haha, it is a really uninspiring advert!

Totally agree spazzolino, people have lost lives from handlebars snapping 🙁

Could buy a cheap Chinese full face lid to go with it and still save on a set of Eastons perhaps?

the +/- 20g on the claimed weight is a bit worrying too.
