RXL SL [US Stock] Carbon Handlebar Road Bike 31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 400/420/440mm Cycling Bent Bar Drop Bars

Would not recommend. The center cracked during installation on a 31.8 mm FSA stem. I used a torque wrench and it cracked around 3-4 Nm so it wasn't over tightened. It must be slightly off in diameter. Again be careful. Luckily I heard the crack during installation but could have been a disaster.Edit: Since a blurb in the description has been added advising users to make sure they use a stem with a 31.8 mm clamp and implies that user error causes cracking during installation, I feel compelled to reiterate that I used a stem with a 31.8 clamp, specifically an FSA OS 168 stem, and so this is not the reason the handlebars cracked. It is disconcerting to immediately fall back on blaming user error rather than actually improving the safety of a faulty product.

I used these on a new build for my wife and we both absolutely love them!Yes, as the other reviewers have mentioned. feeding the lines through the bars is exceptionally difficult. It took me hours of effort on the couch until I found a way it worked for me. After the pain, the route it great, it's exceptionally clean, the brakes work without any problems. Shifting is via DI2, which I also ran through the bars, so I cannot comment on any impact there.The price is amazing compared to [other bar manufacturer I bought for my bike a couple years ago]. I may well buy a set of these to put on my own bike.It's not just about clean looks, though, my wife is thrilled at the extra hand positions as well as the more comfortable top-bar position.The extra reach is real, as mentioned in other reviews, so I took that into account as well as tilting the bars up a little more. This is on a Cannondale Synapse endurance bike. She loves to climb and had no issue with these. We're not Crit crankers, either, so if there is flex, it will actually be welcome for noise dampening.Highly recommended!

So far so good. I did a 40 mile test run and one main advantage to these handlebars is that they offer more positions than a standard round bar. The flat aero position is very comfortable and has a slight downward angle which I'm guessing is a more natural position over a level top bar. My round bars would leave my hands a little numb at times but I'm guessing that the flat portion of the bars will remedy that situation. In the drops I didn't notice any difference over standard bars. The raised sides offer a welcomed different position over standard bars as well. I did however not route my cables through the provided holes as Campagnolo warned that excessive bends would lead to decreased shifting performance. I simply taped the cables to the underside of the bars and wrapped with bartape. These bars coupled with new Campagnolo Centaur 10 speed levers are a dream combination over previous setup of Campagnolo Xenon 10 speed shifters and ITM Super Anatomic 46 bars. Very satisfied right now.

Super nice looking aero bars. Look great on my specialized Allez Peter Sagan edition bike. They have a bit more reach than stock so I need to adjust for that but they are very nice and comfortable. This is the second set of bars I get from this seller. One set are bullhorn bars. Both have been great.

I bought these basically as an experiment. Either they're good and I get the deal of the century, or they're crap and I've wasted $40 (not the end of the world). I must say the gamble paid off. I got them in 3k gloss, and they are STUNNING. The carbon weave did have a couple of small cosmetic imperfections under the clear cloat, but still a 9/10 on aesthetics. As far as weight goes, I ordered the 420mm and they weighed 220g...so super light and exactly as advertised. I've only had them on for 2 real rides so far, but I can say I feel no flex at all (I'm 150lbs and I ride hard). They slipped a bit in the stem initially, but after getting carbon paste and re assembling they hold just fine. I feel confident enough to stand up and ride hard as I would with any other handlebars I've ever owned. I will speculate as to the lack of quality control on Chinese carbon items like this, so always thoroughly inspect everything for cracks before you use!

Don’t know if they changed the recipe since some of the older reviews, but these are not that flexible at all. Pretty sturdy in my experience, and I commute on some pretty rough roads.Also, there’s a review here about the clamp point being off and ensuing near-death. i have a feeling they weren’t installed correctly, which sucks if you went to the shop. But that’s another discussion...These are super comfortable, look rad, and they’re cheap. Only complaint is the cable routing, which was a real bear for me, but I’m sure there was an easier way to get it done.UPDATE:Been riding these for a while now, year and a half about. still like them a lot. Zero issues so far. Solid purchase!

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I bought these bars to upgrade my road bike, and so far, I’m really happy with them. With regard to weight, they aren’t much different than my old aluminum bars, but they are definitely more comfortable. The flat top position is a nice change from the traditional round, and it’s easier on my hands.I don’t find these to be flexible like some other reviewers have described, in fact, I find them to be very sturdy. The drop is much tighter than my old bars, which I’m finding I like. I’m also liking the longer reach of these. I recently changed to a slightly less dropped stem angle, and the added reach of these bars allows me to maintain my preferred body position, rather than being too upright.So far, I’m pretty pleased with these. Definitely not a bad deal at this price.Apologies for the pixilated video. Amazon compressed it so much that it looks like I shot it with a potato.
