They list the weight on the site I thought?

Not tried them, but I would if I needed a new bar. The weight wasn't worryingly light IIRC.

Just go a set - fitting later today.

Mine came in at 268g against advertised 265g, quality looks very good compared to lots of other carbon bars I have seen. Finishing is good. As Cha****ng says, not too light.

Will report back once tested over a few months but feel very confident in them having seen them in the flesh.

Look quite good but my fatbar lite (ALU) is only 6 grams heavier. So not tempted me enough to bother yet.

TBH they work fine. Nothing to report. Just one of those good products that you forget is fitted.

Interesting, how do the Superstars ride? Harsh or with a little give.

(The Renthals are only 740 mm so not a true comparison in my book).

Feel pretty similar to my old ally bars except for the extra degree of back sweep - feel about same in terms of stiffness, and can't really comment on what some people say around killing trail buzz as they are on my big bike that has the forks tuned for pretty good small bump sensitivity.

I think it tends to be the much lighter carbon bars that kill trail buzz more than tougher ones as my mates with Enve DH ones report similarly.

Thx, yeah, I have some Bontrager carbon bars, they are brutally stiff, not what I am looking for.

Here's hoping for a 780mm carbon with a little give ...

I've had one fitted for about 6-8months.

It hasn't exploded, that's about all I can say really...
