That looks very pimp! just becareful for anyone that’s using ergon handlebar grips because they rely on tightening the end and could crush carbon fiber. (it’s on their own warning labels)

I’m wondering about their weight. Are they actually lighter than the original set?

I can’t find these bars for sale anywhere.
How much did they cost when they were available?
Did they ever have any problems?

I can’t seem to get a membership to the HK Strida forum so I can’t research them further.

I’ve found three prices of them, the most plausible (and half ways actual) seems to be 700 HK§ (?).

Looks like Philip had them some day, I’d suggest to ask here:
