How does it handle with those bars? i have the same bike. It looks very spiffy btw.

thegb1212 (Jul 6, 2010 at 8:47)

thanks dude. yah these bars are sick, it makes cornering and super tech/fast DH runs easier. it makes you way more stable with two draw backs: it feels sluggish on tight slow trails and you can start clipping shit so be careful. its a huge change and it will feel very weird at first. also jumping may feel a little hard too, but when you get used to it its awesome and if your style of riding warrants it try some out. im running faceface atlas in tooth blue (1/2 inch rise) and uncut (31 1/2 inch width) {i am 6'0")

thegb1212 (Jun 28, 2010 at 6:56)

thank you, im thinking of getting either 2010 boxxer teams or a 2011 fox 180mm like the talas with the kashima tubes. what do you think?

dallas56 (Jun 30, 2010 at 18:53)

the fox's are sick but the boxxers from what i have heard a nd read are just crazy nice

thegb1212 (Jun 30, 2010 at 19:07)

yah but the fox stuff is brand new so theres not too many reviews yet...and the boxxer races suck crap
