Anyone had any long term use? Do you rate them? Reliable?
In particular I'm looking at carbon bars, seem a decent price / weight.
Got a pair of zoom carbon risers...super stiff and pretty impressed considering the weight. They also do half price crash replacement too.
I looked at some of the previous threads on here and one lad was using them without issue on an orange alpine.
Not sure why folks dont mention them more. I think the low weight scares people off.
One slight niggle is that i have ti run my LEV remote with the odi grips as the clamp wont stick to the bar...but KS is partly to blame.
I've used the riser carbon bar for a year now. It's been raced and is currently on a rigid singlespeed which is a heluva test for a bar.
No problems and very light indeed. Have no hesitation in recommending them.
I have been using a set of their flat carbon bars for about a year now. Very happy with them, and they have stood up to the use very well.
Do they help dull trail buzz a bit compared to alloy bars?
Absolutely. There is a visible amount of give in them when pushed hard.
Used Mt Zoom carbon risers on my heckler in the alps last year - very happy. The carbon at the ends is noticeably thinner that my Answer pro tapers, but they seem strong enough.
I want some of the xl risers, anyone got any pics of theirs on their bike?
Had some of their risers for a couple of years, great bars. Their skewers are far better than most lightweight ones too. Decent kit.
Thanks all, I'll give them a try. As a bonus I like the lightning bolt graphics too.
Do they help dull trail buzz a bit compared to alloy bars?
theyre laterally stiff whilst being vertically compliant, and bring the trails to life. 🙂
Tempted by a set of bars. Are the quoted weights accurate (looking at xcracer shop)?
Great kit
have raced two sets of bars, have the wide flat one on my canyon 29er now
I've had a couple of flat carbon bars, but found them a little bit too flexy for my weight (at the mo 120kg) but they never snapped on me so must be fairly strong 🙂
