Took the bike around the block after a full rebuild. Handlebar snapped while bunny hoping a sidewalk.
I am pretty lucky it did not happen on the trails and I walked away with a couple of bruises. This is the worst thing that can happen on a bike. I am not a super hardcore freerider and I take care of my bike (stem and shifters were properly torqued)... Perhaps it is strong enough for all mountain riding but I will definitely stay away from this product for bike park or freeriding.
Product Used For: 1 Year

my old stock bar seemed like it was made of lead because it bent so much and was wicked heavy, so i decided to get a new one, and it was probably the most helpful 47 dollars I've spent on my bike. the first test ride i took it on, i rode one of my best wheelies ever, it is still holding up really nicely and doesn't have any scratches, and it has not had any bending problems yet, but it comes with a one-year break or bend warranty, so I'm all set for that. i have a feeling i'm gonna get one of these for my next bike as well. if you're at all interested in becoming a better rider, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET YOURSELF THESE HANDLE BARS EVEN IF YOUR OLD ONES AREN'T BENT, IT REALLY IMPROVES YOUR SKILLS. I'd give it 6 stars if i could.......
thanks a lot, Answer!

Jeff a Free Rider from Ewa Beach, Hawaii writes:
Strong, stiff, wide and can take quite a beating. Worth every penny. When you consider how many years of use I've gotten from this bar, it's actually been CHEAP to buy & use.
Product Used For: 2 or More Years
Product Strengths:Srong, strong, strong, able to to stand up to my clumsy trashing. Has held up to my 300 lbs of pressure for 4+ years. I'm only buying a replacement because I'd rather not find out the outer limits of aluminum fatigue.
Product Weaknesses:The finish once corroded under a pair of lock on grips. I switched back to traditional grips and no problems since.
My Bike:I've used these on a Big Hit, an Enduro SX, and a Cove Stiffee
