PLATTRoad Handlebar Full Carbon Fiber Road Bicycle Handlebar 31.8mm Drop Bar Bent Handlebar 400/420/440mm (UD Matte, 380mm)

On my other bike, I upgraded from the original stiff and rigid aluminum to an amazingly supple and forgiving Deda Superleggera carbon. It was immediately noticeable from the first mile on.Built up a second bike on a budget and decided to take a chance with these Platt drop bars. I usually ride a 420mm (Deda 440mm) but at the time of purchase, Amazon only had the 400mm and I'm glad that I went with them because, now, I feel that the 400mm fits me better.They're a size smaller than the Deda and they're 205g vs 195g for the Deda, but that's still amazingly light. Of course the low weight is also a concern in durability. But so far, I've had no reason to doubt their safety.The Deda is flexible. If you get on the drops and twist left and right with your hands, you can see the bars twist and give. The Platt is completely rigid. I had doubts in its ability to absorb road vibrations but as soon as I got on the road, I realized that there was no reason for concern. They're noticeably more supple compared to an aluminum bar and pretty close to an expensive Deda Superleggera.Being that they're not an aero profile with a blade like top section, I'm less concerned about failure which tends to happen on the transition from the round stem section to the thin blade section. I feel that the traditional rounder profile is safer and less risky to ride.Overall, I'm very happy with them. They'd easily be a value at even twice the price. Definitely a value at a 1/5th of the Deda.UPDATE: March of 2021, I did a century ride and all I can say is that the bars were great! No complaints whatsoever.

The stiffness makes the responsiveness notable

Have been riding with the bars for about 3 months and about 450 miles. These replaced some faded FSA aluminum bars. I was looking for a narrower profile and a similar semi aero flat top section. These delivered the features though the drop is a little more than I was used to, but it’s okay. Can I tell between alu and carbon bars? Not really. Weight wise, the 38cm bars were 230g. That’s more than advertised. Overall quality seems good.

Just got the drop bars and 1st impression is that bars appear to be nicely made, and I like the flat area on the bar tops, but it has no side marking for the brake levers and center marking seem off. They feel like light alloy rather than "made out of paper" feeling you get with carbon fiber. The gram scale doesn't lie: 247gr rather than the advertised 178gr. Undecided to send them back or not, but may have to anyway - they sent me 400mm width rather 420mm, but that doesn't have anything to do with the quality. Main purpose for buying these bars is I put my bike on a diet this defeats my purpose.

Very pleased with prompt delivery, excellent packaging and strong, nicely finished handlebars. Tried to make them flex to test their safety and they seemed very solid. Strong recommendation.

I used these to replace some aluminum bars on a full Ultegra bike. I was impressed with the bars and I love riding with them. The bar profile(drop, reach) is the same as the aluminum bars they replaced. But I really like the “aerodynamic” wide spots on the top of the bars. Very comfortable. I need to get a new holder for my computer so I have a place for my light. There is not a lot of room between the center of the bar and the spread on the top of the bar.

Terrible quality. I received one with random chunks of composite material inside both ends of the bar. This makes the inside diameter way too tight to fit standard handlebar plugs. I can't get one in even without any tape taking up space.The ends were also cut at different lengths and crooked (!)I figured I received a dud, so I reached out to the seller weeks ago. No response.Do not recommend.

I wanted to have carbon and narrower bars.they are comfortable and were easy to change out.
