Pro Bike Check: Aaron Chase's Cannondale Jekyll 27.5 Carbon (video)

Aaron Chase will ride anything. Obviously known for his hardtail street and dirt creativity, “Ace” spends as much time on his trail bike as any one else and his bike is all about fun! Aaron takes you out for a ride and runs down his Jekyll 27.5 with his GoPro during a loamy day in some NorCal wo...

The Good:

various rise options, colors, width and stiffness

The Bad:

none, i really like these

Overall Review: I run the aluminum bars on my demo uncut with a 1" riser and absolutely love them. I use the larger rise on the demo because I have a direct mount so with the rise it makes the perfect height for my liking. I am no expert in the air so I fortunately can say they have been abused and have no prob...

The Good:

Strong, well priced, nice and wide, comfortable hand position.

The Bad:

Lighter options available (but more expensive)

Overall Review: STATS. So, Answer have been around for a while, they make a bunch of Moto stuff, and their bike stuff isn't half bad either. The 780mm Protaper DH is, as the name suggests, their downhill/FR (does FR even exist anymore?) bar. It weighs in around 335gm, so its not super light, but it's not as hea...

The Good:

1. Incredible rise height, backs weep, width, and up sweep 2. Lightweight for an aluminum bar 3. Strong 4. Price

The Bad:

Absolutely nothing

Overall Review: When I first saw the ProTapers, I loved the looks and all of the angles seemed to add up to a madcomfortable bar. The first thing that is noticeable is how strong the bars are. I've ridden off of large drops and over scary rock gardens and there is no flex at all. The ProTaper technolo...

The Good:

Weight, Strength, Stiffness, Feel

The Bad:

Finish/anodizing

Overall Review: The bars I have on my current bike are 25mm rise. To mirror one of the comments below, the vast majority of bars of this price seem similar in build quality. No doubt there are a few manufactures that produce bars that are either exceptionally heavy or too weak, however, the answer pro tapers ...

The Good:

I think most handlebars in this price range will be pretty similar in terms of strength, the one thing i noticed right away about these ones is the weight and how light they are. They feel really nice and are nice and stiff. Also having some color options is nice as well.

The Bad:

The only thing i noticed is that the color is fading on the top of the bars. Not really a big deal but kind of weird.

Overall Review: Super happy with these strong, stiff, wide, light bars. Would highly recommend.

The Good:

Bars are unreal! The rise is perfect and the roll on them just feels right. I like my bars a little thinner than the stock 780mm and thanks to Answer they make it a lot easier for me to get them to 750mm because they mark where to cut on each end so the rider is easily able to set there width exactly where they want it. I feel confident in these handlebars when I ride, they are strong, well rolled and look great.

The Bad:

Bars: May be a little wide straight out of the box but once a little trim is done to suit they are perfect. They tend to scratch/wear easily, though.

Overall Review: Overall the bars are great. Can't complain.

Posted by Cody31 on 12/8/2010 4:06 PM

The Good:

wide, clear measurement marks for cutting, nice bend, stiff enough for DH and hucking, but has slight give for vibration assist.

The Bad:

paint scratches a little too easily

Overall Review: Very good handle bars that give you comfort and control in a sweet looking package! at 780mm these bars are some of the widest on the market, but that doesn't mean some of us shorter riders cant cut the down a bit with the easy to use cut markers.
