The handlebars are excellent
The handlebars are excellent. Not too heavy, not too light. I bought it for the increased angle for the back sweep (12 degrees, not the 8-9 found on other bars. Consistent with recommendations by SQLab, I could have gone wih 16 degrees, but for now, the 12 degrees was a significant improvement, largely eliminated wrist pain after long rides. The increased vertical flexibiility of this model was not a problem, but I have only 30 miles on the bars to far, so I haven't noticed a big difference on that.
