I was looking for a handlebar for my mountain style bike that would allow me to sit up straight, easing my back issues. This bar was inexpensive and fills the need. It seems quite sturdy, although I mainly ride on bike paths rather than off road.

First off, I am a semi-serious rider. I'm no pro, but I ride often enough to know I like this handlebar.

I am about 6-1 and on plenty of rides, I would feel that lower back pain associated with leaning over handlebars. With a mountain bike, the stock handlebar was barely raised. With that handlebar I was constantly leaning over, using upper body strength to keep myself in a safe riding position. When I put on the new bar, the difference was instantaneous. The new position is way more comfortable, and the back pain is more rare. I am definitely more vertical when I ride, and for me, that's a good thing.

This bar is raised kinda high. It is higher than I thought it was by looking at the picture. It somewhat resembles the handlebar of a beach cruiser, but not as exaggerated. For me, it worked out well, and I am very satisfied.

The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is this: the handlebar curves a little bit, forcing my wrists to turn outwards while riding. This would be beneficial to people who are shorter than me, but for me, it is a mild hindrance. I think its because this handlebar wasn't meant for mountain bikes, but I don't think I've ever seen black bars on a cruiser....o.O

If you are tall and you want a more comfortable riding position - get this!

The handle bars were just what I was looking for in order to convert my mountain bike to a more upright riding position. I now can use my bike for casual riding or for a quick trip to pick my son up from school.
