We like them because they have a flattish ramp and a the only good looking ana-bend ever. I THINK the consensus here is that a Noodle still wins (my vote, but that's to be expected, I'm sure)...but we don't automatically dislike handlebars we didn't design! It's a nice bar. The reach is super short for a drop bar (the Noddle has a normal reach--numbers are probably like 80/92---sorry to jargonize here--it just means there's less fwd bend. That's either slightly good or slightly bad---it's not a winnable contest either way--. The bar is not heat treated, and so it's not as strong, and I'll f ind out about the alloy. I don't generally like to engage in scuttlebutt, but I believe all the heat-treated NITTO alum bars are made of 2014 alloy aluminum, heat-treatd to T6; and the non-HT noodles are 5056 aluminum, and my s-butt factor here is rising, but I think these are a mere 6061-non HT. I'll find out and report back. We also like them because they're so cheap. Don't ride them off road and probably don't use them if you're an economizing burly brute, but for regular old Cinelli-style road use, sure.
