I have put these handlebars on my wife's and my mountain bikes. What a difference! As we get a little older now we don't have to ride hunched over so much. Much easier on the wrists and arms. I did have to replace all the cable housings (to lengthen them) on my bike, no change required for my wife's bike. The handlebars were about 2" wider tip to tip that the originals so I simple cut and inch off each side with a hacksaw. 20 minutes later (total install time) it was like getting a new bike, a more comfortable bike. The sweep angle of the handlbar is perfect, the rise about right, I would not change a thing.

These bent the second time I rode with them while pulling up on the handlebars to clear a curb. Do yourself a favor and buy some of higher quality--safety is more important.

Better than those racing type bars. More control and easier on the back. Bars came well protected from any shipping scratches and in a timely manner. ----- Good Job ----- Thanks!

Well executed short rise conventional bar, particularly at the price. Needed to replace the akward bars on the tandem beach/booze cruiser, excellent replacement with far greater comfort and control.

OK if you are an extremely leisurely rider. aka avoid all bumps, etc. They WILL bend on you fast if you ride any sort of rough terrain.

Works good for me. I read one that said it bent on him, but he's a serious traíl rider, im not. If u r u should be spending more on your critical parts anyway.

My initial review was a good rating because they did what I needed them to do which was give me leg clearance. I read the review that said he bent his coming off of a curb and that made my weary because I weigh around 240 lbs. But after a few months of being careful, I got a little careless I guess and stressed these a little too much and it all added up... I just ride for exercise mostly up hills so not too much I can really do as far as "extremes." The incident occurred oddly enough, after waiting to cross at a crosswalk. The light turned green and I proceeded off a 5 inch curb and WHAM!!! The left side bends upward right as I get in the intersection, a busy one I might add, a little embarassing...However not as embarrassing as that happening at 20mph or as ruinous! THANK GOD that happened then instead of face-planting at top-speed. Im not the prettiest man alive, but far too pretty to be sliding on my face....STAY AWAY FROM THESE!!!!

This is not for extreme riding! For a daily commuter it is a perfect upgrade. It will not bend on a bump as other reviewers stated, but could if you do jumps. Overall I love it on my commuting bike.

I am so glad I purchased this!! I have a mountain bike and long rides became uncomfortable being bent over the whole time. These look like they were made for the bike and it allows the rider to sit up just enough to be comfortable. I have no regrets!! Did find that one cable was a little short, but it was an easy fix. Would highly recommend this to other bike riders!

I bought these to keep me from being stooped over in back pain riding my 19 year old mountain bike. Since I do not jump curves or ride on rugged mountainous trails (manufacturer does not recommend these bars for that type of biking) anymore I needed something that would keep me a bit more upright riding on pavement. They install easy. I had to lengthen the brake cable on the front brake. Otherwise I had no problem with this product. It did what I wanted.
