Our mountain bars: Riser, Sweep and now DH (New for 2011), were designed on the trail.  Our experiences, thoughts, and ideas turned into angles and shapes, that place your hands in natural and confident positions. The goal was to achieve the perfect balance of strength, comfort, and durability in a lightweight package.  Rider feedback confirms that the extra width and flexibility of our mountain bars provides comfort and control for any trail condition. So when you get the chance to upgrade to this product, know that you are in for the best experience a bar can offer.
