BikeRadar verdict

3 out of 5 stars

"Stiff and strong but shape and lack of comfort doesn't suit everyone."

By BikeRadar

At 300g Truvativ's XC-DH is nearer to DH weight than XC, but it's a tough all rounder.

The big fat shot peened centre continues through the 35mm high bends with a sudden taper just before the long, polished control section starts. This makes it wrist bruisingly stiff which is great for accuracy if not for comfort.

The slightly odd shape with pronounced backsweep meant a few riders couldn't get on with it however much they rolled the bar backwards and forwards.

    People at Bike Radar seem to not appreciate products that are affordable (because they can all afford to run Easton's :)

    Anyway, read 'real' people reviews and you will find that these are very good handlebars, I personally use both, 1 and 2inch rise versions, both 27" wide (685mm).

    They are very comfy, super stiff, good looking and may not be the lightest on the market but I doubt you will get anything weighting less for £30.

    Buy one if you can get it as they are not longer made - seem to be replaced with new 'Stylo' line which are shorter at 680mm.

    Max points from me as they are good for any type of riding.
