Just ordered the blinged up and slightly camp ano red one. 😳

Looks a great price as long as you don't mind last years graphics. It's a bit of a leap of faith for me as I'm going from 685mm EA70's to the Fubar monster. Anyone on here running the Fubar? any comments? good or bad?

Tipp ex would last longer. They will look awful after a ride. Good bars but criminal finish.

Surprised at that for such an expensive (normally) bar. Good job I only mince along then, really.

Probably a good job I got the anodized version then.

Got the green anodized ones great bars, and the finish has proved tough.

I have some fubars and they are brilliant bars, mine are anodised orange and on a blue BFe. Feel great and look great. I might get some more to replace the old burgtec ones on my enduro.

Yeh. The ano is fine. It's the paint you don't want.

Just an update. Absolutely love the bars - been out a few times now and the ano is indeed tough enough. A very stiff bar which on the first ride felt strange and a bit harsh but by halfway through I was loving how 'responsive' they felt. Feel much more in control of the bike on descents.

Cut em down to 730mm (to wriggle through trees better) and it feels perfect on a 60mm stem.

At £42 a bit of a bargain.

They are very purrdy too. 🙂
