Seem sturdy, look good, and good price
This handlebar was light, felt and looked just right.Unfortunately had to return it as the stem diameter was less than what my gravel bike needed with a front suspension by Rockshox but I would have definitely kept it.As a result cannot comment on durability, however, I do have another RXL SL handlebar on my mtb and have had zero issues with that (aside being a tad too tight at the stem and needing a little scraping of the paint/material on the inside).

The internal routing is great - if you have wireless shifters
I went with the cheap no-name because I wasn't' sure if I'd stick with drops on my gravel build. These seem well-made, and they are super comfortable.The only negative is that the holes for internal routing are not big enough to get both the shifter and brake cables through. I mean, you can shove both in the holes (that's what SHE said), but not with enough wiggle to ever get them out the other side. I ended up just running the brake cables through the bar and taping the shift cable to the bottom. If I cared more I would probably grind the holes a little bigger (that's what HE said) and then put a little epoxy on the ground edges to prevent fraying and cracking.

Fantastic handlebars! Beats the stupidly expensive Bontrager bars Trek puts on their SLR bikes.
I replaced original Bontrager bars that came with my Project One Trek Domane SLR7 and cost upwards of $300 with this one. What a huge difference in comfort on long rides and even looks. Excellent product at a very nice price. Highly recommend.NOTE: the bar width is measured at the drops. It is narrower at the hoods, because the drops are flared out. Make sure you understand what the width at the hoods are when you buy this handlebar.

Great Bars!
I love these bars! They were just the ticket for my gravel bike build, or should I say rebuild of my 38 year old Ross mountain bike. They have so many different hand positions when you're grinding out the miles. The flats are very large and the internal routing of the brake cable is a real plus. Super light weight and definitely a quality product.

good, pretty and very good price
good, pretty and very good price , The installation of the cables inside the handlebar is not easy but not impossible, it has a very good finish and very beautiful, in its first use after its adjustments I was able to do a test ride of about 30 miles, it is very comfortable and comfortable. installed with a carbon stem as recommended by the manufacturer and respecting its 4NM torque (the only thing I didn't like is that the information marked on the handlebar does not match the other end and neither do the middle assembly marks)

Nice Features, Light Weight, Good Price
I chose this handlebar for its overall design. It is well finished and, as best as I can tell with carbon, well made. I particularly like the flattened (aero?) top section, the provision for internal cable routing, the relatively low rise, and the slight flare. I was able to route DI2 cables and hydraulic brake lines through the handlebars, making for a very neat look. The only thing I would like to see different would be to have a little more non-curved area in the drops for my hands to hold.

Great especially for price
Like most I didn’t want to drop hundreds on aero bars. The look is fantastic and the comfort is great. I really enjoy the hand position on the aero part of the bars and the drops are great as well. I haven’t had any issues with the durability and I ride relatively hard/ on aggressive routes.

They're Fine, But Very Difficult to Work With
The internal routing is terrible. The bars overall are good enough, especially for the price. But, if you're buying them for the internal routing then buyer beware.While not impossible to route cable housings through the bar, it will suck every last bit of enjoyment you have in working on your bike. You will hate the process. You will make up new swear words.Routing two brake housings and one shifter housing. 4 hours later I'm taking a break and writing this review. Still not done.I've been building bikes since the 80's. Never have I run into a bike component that's so damn annoying that's not functionally broken, but just a bad design.
