'Very cheap. Indestructible. Very heavy. Hardcore to the max'

Strengths:
Very wide (builds deltoid muscles, look like bodybuilder). Great trials bar when you get used to the weight. Great jump bar even without getting used to the weight. Very solid, won't break despite heavy use. Very high bar, great if you have a little frame. T-shirts look da bomb.

Weaknesses:
The bar is actually 27 and three quarters inches wide. The extra width means that you have to be careful of your legs when doing x-ups or turning sharply. T-shirt atracts fluff like nothing else. quite hard to get hold of other than from 24seven themselves.

Overall:
Great versatile indestructible bar that only has very minor, easy to forgive problems, and this is trying to be as brutal as possible. Fantastic for the budget-minded hardcore rider that won't except shoddy workmanship. Very high quality for a bottom of therange product. The very best is only £20 more and is virtually downhill-proof, possibly even Rob Warner-proof. All 24seven products seem to be great, everyone should have a bit of 24seven on their bike.

Great for jumping/downhill
Look wicked

Heavy, but if you're jumping or downhilling, then who cares? You get a cool t-shirt too.

'Mint'

Strengths:
Stong as hell
Stealthy loks

Weaknesses:
Weight - but does it matter?

Kick ass bars and stem

'THEY RULE'

Strengths:
Cheap,
Strong,
Wicked stem,
Cool t-shirt

Weaknesses:
tad heavy but u don't really notice when u'r riding and the front of my bike is light anyway. T-shirt doesn't wash very well!!

Overall:
The r good strong, dependable, bars and r brilliant for downhilling, dirtjumping and trials. The stem is worth more than the bars, and is worth the money alone. Go and buy some and don't forget u get the cool tee.

'GOOD FOR A WHILE'

Strengths:
felt fairly good, lasted a reasonable while,
bent rather than snapped
Warrany

Weaknesses:
Bent them, I admit this was by overjumping a double, but even so. Also, the accuracy of machining on the stem is a bit shoddy.

Overall:
good while they lasted, and hopefully I'll be able to get a set of the nicer combo (if I pay the difference) as a replacement
