Got Warhead bars on both my bikes, seem fine to me! Of the 6 reviews on CRC all 5/5.

Yellow looks hideous, but I have the black handlebars, lightest bars I could find at that width and price. Been fine so far, but there's not much to go wrong with handlebars really.

The yellow is really quite horrible even before the paint starts to drop off, which happens instantly.

The reviews on crc about the yellow seatpost say after dropping first time the paint has come off

Can only talk about the black seatpost, bars and pedals - all have done me very well.

Have you seen the yellow in the flesh? It looks really really cheap, and by most accounts flakes off very quickly.

Oh yeah, I got caught up in my yellow-slagging. The black kit is fine. It's a bit generic-feeling tbh, Nukeproof being largely a rebranding exercise, but it's still decent. I had the long bars and I still use the seatpost on the dh bike, it's quite Thomsonny. Decent unpretentious kit, worth buying when it's cheap, probably not worth buying at its RRP

But painted seatposts are always a stupid idea.
