Duration Product Used:
Tested or demo'ed only
Price Paid:

Purchased At:
beyondbikes
Strengths:
looks nice with the carbon finish natural with a no gloosy clearcoats.
Weaknesses:
it is weak as a tuthpick, I just left the "tested or demo'ed only, as the mtbr system did not allowed for less than a month. I bought this handlebar to replace my trusty CF-1, the first ride was to start in an uphill ride at Rochy Hill Ranch, TX. it BROKE!! with no warning at all, at the start of the climb.
Similar Products Used:
Azonic carbon CF-1, Easton MonkeyLite XC Carbon.
Bike Setup:
Azonic Saber '04, full Sram X-9 with new XO shifters, Hayes El Camino DB, Race Face Atlas crancks, King HS, Azonic outlaws wheels & Nevegal 2.35 tubless converted, Azonic stem, seatpost & pedals
Bottom Line:
the worst ever made handlebar, dangerous to any rider and considering is an oversized 31.8 clamp and a DH aplication, it can kill you. No warranty backup from Beyondbikes, they sent me back to Azonic, and considering I have plenty of experience as a mtb biker (20 years)and that the handlebar was purchased 3 days before my ride, and now as a ping-pong ball seeking a warranty; I am buying a new frame and removing all azonic components. is it possible to remove the one chili as the rating is to legal-sute for intended murder...
