Stevie Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Ok, so i'm ordering my new bars and stem tomorrow and i had my mind set on buying the VIZ Pro 720's, and the VIZ welded stem (150mm x 30) which apparantly is a very nice combonation.But after looking around the bike pics section, it seems more people use the trialtech sport bars and stem and i wondered what your guys opinions are on the two combo's?Thanks alot in advance.

Muel Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Depends what frame you have and what sort of riding you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Oh, sorry i forgot that bit ( the more important bit ) I have a Onza blade with the standard bars/stem atm, i only do street riding and i havnt been riding for that long so nothing huge.

jambo Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I use the viz bars and i love them, I believe they are a higher rise than the trialtech bars which suits me just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayshell Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 simple... The trialtech bars cost a lot less. The viz bars are lighter and have more rise. If you don't want the rise than the trialtech bars would work fine. They are both really strong though. + trialtech has a good reputation where as viz its hit and miss some of their stuff is awesome some of their stuff is trash.

Stevie Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks for the replys, and what LukasMcNeal said it was your bike that made me look at the Viz bars, they look hot.As for the rise, what difference would the bigger rise make?

The rise difference between the 2 bars is too insignificant to effect the upsweep and backsweep ratios.
