Everything about these bars is great ! Weight , Rise , Length, Graphics
I use Dirty Thirty for DH and like the wider bars -So the 29 seems to be good fit for me on the Topsoil

None to report other then some of the graphics are covered up by the grips -

Overall Review

Highly Recommend for your DJ ride - Plus customer service is top notch !!!!

Evil Revolt Frame

The Good

The ride is great. There is nothing bad about the ride quality of this bike. Pure dh race rig thats highly adjustable.

The Bad

The company itself, specifically the warranty department. I broke my frame in October of last year. After talking to Gabe in warranty and sending pictures to him, he agreed to replace the frame under warranty. He promised me that this would be taken care of no later than February. When February came he said it would be 45 days, production problems in China. 45 days past and I was getting a little pissed with race season starting I still had no frame. He promised me it would be taken care of no later than the end of March. Now we are at the end of March, he says he has 70 frames that just came in and 50 of them are junk, he'll call me back with a status. It's now August and he has not returned any of my calls, my shops calls, and the reps that were selling the frames have quit.

Overall Review

Isay to anyone who is thinking of buying this frame to reconsider. Don't make the mistake I did spending your hard earned money. They have had several revisions to this frame and it's still not holding up. The only ones they are taking care of are themselves. I started checking around to see what happened to the 20 "GOOD" frames that pasted inspection and the bike shop down the road from them got 6 of them to sell. Where did the rest go? Canada? Race team? Europe? No one knows the answer to

Avid Elixir R Hydraulic Disc Brakes

c120 88901820 1266939844.jpg?VersionId=fNJtc

The Good

These brakes are dependable, did not experience brake fade, and have never bled my 2009s I had on the trek session 88. I also have them on my 2010 intense 951 and these brakes are more dependable than the saint brakes i have on my 2010 slopestyle. I have recently purchased a set to replace the saints on the slopestyle.

The Bad

Nothing. these brakes are simply amazing and are very dependable. I rode them at Snowshoe bike park WV and Diablo. Highly recommend.

Overall Review

Five stars, especially if you are not into bleeding brakes and look to ride a set that requires minimal if any maintenance.

2011 Trek Session 8 Bike

The Good

handles very nice

The Bad

i have literally broken/replaced/had problems with every part of the bike. I haven't had any big falls or any major reasons for the bike to have broken but it is completely ridiculous.

Overall Review

the bike is great for the first couple weeks and then slowly goes downhill (no pun)

Morewood Bicycles Makulu Frame

The Good

Suspension, Stability, Cornering, Speed

The Bad

Nothing...n/a

Overall Review

Let me begin by stating that I have ridden/owned alot of bikes, always searching for the next best thing...the Makulu is it. The suspension is incredible. The super low leverage allows the rear to feel unlike anything else I've ridden. Although this is a full-on dh race sled with about 40% sag, it doesn't feel mushy as many bikes often do, but at the same time it eats up terrain with ease. My riding style tends to be more jibby and slopestyle-esque, so I generally to do not like dh rigs that

Avid Elixir R Hydraulic Disc Brakes

The Good

Reliable. Good performance. Not expensive.

The Bad

For what they are, none.

Overall Review

After reading the other dude's review I figured I should give these brakes some props. I've been running them for two seasons now and I've bled the rear once, and haven't had to bleed the front yet. I have them on my downhill bike and they're plenty powerful for me, I don't even run a 203 rotor in the rear. They slow you down well with good modulation and unless you're a newbie who brakes really hard or you're a heavy dude, the power is certainly sufficient. The difference between these brakes

DEITY Topsoil 2010 Handlebar

The Good

SUPER LIGHT I MEAN LIGHT! 283 GRAMS, 29" WIDE WITH A 50MM RISE AND DEITY'S TRADEMARK 9 DEGREE BEND X 5 DEGREE UPSWEEP. SO SO STRONG! I HAVE BEEN WORKING THEM AND STILL THE SAME AS THE DAY I PUT THEM ON.

The Bad

THEY HAVE PUT THE SICKEST GRAPHICS WEAR YOU PUT THE GRIPS. KIND OF WEIRD THEY LOOK SO SICK YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT GRIPS ON THEM. THE PAINT CHIPS I FEEL LIKE ITS WHY THERE SO LIGHT THE DON'T COAT ON THE COATS.

Overall Review

IT FEELS SO NATURAL. I RIDE DIRTY 30'S LOVE THEM. I LIKED THE 25MM RISE, I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE A FAN OF THE 50MM. I WAS SO WRONG. THEY ARE SO SICK. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE PULL AND POWER WITH THEM. HAVE USE OTHER BARS BUT I NEVER FELT IT MADE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE TELL NOW. I FEEL I CAN BUNNY HOP HIGHER, WHEELIE FARTHER, AND TURN FASTER. I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT ITS TRUE. THEY HAVE A LIGHT FEEL TO THEM. MADE OUT OF 7075 T6 ALUMINUM SUPER STRONG BUT STILL LIGHT. MY ARMS WOULD HURT
