Burglarboycie Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hey all What are peoples opinion on the Echo SL bars? How do they feel? Are they daft heavy etc? What do you think? Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I hate them. They have so little sweep, which I find horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I love them, because i prefer flatter bars. but like aener says, most trials riders dont like them because they can feel 'flat' compared to most trials oriented bars. I run them and I think they're sub 300 grams, and they've lasted me 2 years so far, and im not a light or smooth rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burglarboycie Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Wow. Ok so proper 50:50!! I am looking to use them on my new build. The last bars i used for trials were azonic double walls on my good old pashley!! I guess i dont know about 'feel' until ive tried them. But i certainly will not be a basher so maybe they will be a bit too heavy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Trialtech. You will adore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burglarboycie Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 That was my other choice. I was tempted by some echo bars for sale on here thats what tempted me away from trialtechs to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Your other choice was a good one. Honestly I and others have said theyre the best bars we've used. Massively comfortable, stiff and a nice high rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 The new SL risers are nicer than Trialtechs in my opinion, probably not as strong though. They are quite a lot lighter than other aluminium bars on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Saw them at radfest on the trialsaddict stall next to a set of TR bars it reminded me of the old original zoo bars and trialtech sports. Would be interesting to see how they compare to TRs as i currently run them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
