CADEXRace Carbon Handlebar(Return to Product Page)

This bar ticked the reach and drop numbers I wanted and the light weight was an extra bonus.

But, on the bike, I don't like it. The top of the bars are almost squared off, so even if you have the bar flat with no tilt, there is an edge, or corner, that your palms rest on, not a flat part. The drops have hardly any room for my hands, which are small. Add any tilt and it's even worse.

The weight was almost spot on, and they are strong with minimal flex on the drop ends.

One thing about cycling I hate is spending a lot of money on things, with no way to test it out, and then your stuck.

The best bars in the business are Ritchey, but for some reason BTD no longer carries them, unfortunately.

There goes another $400 down the drain
