Positive Reviews:

Great compact bar

Rating:****

Great light, compact bar for smaller riders. Just the right amount of reach and drop for us with shorter arms. Seamless fit with my Ultegra SL shifters. My only knock is there are no markers for the shifters on the bars. I had to line 'em up by sight. And the bars are a bit flexy. According to Easton it's by design. But I don't know. Too noticeable to use on my race bike. I use it on my training/commuter/daily rider.

Negative Reviews:

No go

Rating:**

I ordered this item thinking it was a pro bend bar, however it came in as an ergo shaped bar and I had to return it. If you want an ergo, this is a sweet rig but if you are looking for the pro bend (which is what the picture shows) then don't buy this.
So the "star" rating is subject to what you are looking for....

Neutral Reviews:

Very Comfy but 2 flexy 4 me.

Rating:***

They flex too much for my taste so I sold them to a friend. But if you are not a strong sprinter or want a nice comfy ride up front they are good.
