Wonder what the Message would feel like with a set of Flexx bars?

@mikelevy: From what I know of the product and several conversations I've had with Mark and his team, the distinction to be made is "people who race competitively (UCI DH, EWS, etc)" - these are not the intended customers for this product and the term "performance" applies to this subset of the cycling world. Conversely, people who ride hard, and/or ride for enjoyment (vs. a paycheck), people who aren't hyper-sensitive to weight, and people who want to maximize time spent on the bike are who this is for. Bike commuters, share bikers, gravel grinders, and yes, your average garden variety mountain bikers (both with and without pedal assist).

@merlin33: Good thing this wasn't filmed in the States - the Sierra Club would be all over this. It's pretty simple: don't skid on multi-use trails, save that shit for the bikepark.
