ProTaper claims the ACF Handlebar to be the lightest 1 1/8 bar on the market (video)

First Ride | ProTaper ACF Handlebars ACF stands for aluminum, carbon fiber. ProTaper's latest bar replaces some of the aluminum towards the end of the bar with carbon fiber to make it roughly 50 grams, or 20 percent, lighter than the Evo bar.

The Good:

Easy to install

The Bad:

They are super thin. The bumps are at least half as high as the glue on Pillowtops.

The Good:

Couldn't be simpler, super comfort from the pattern, and throttle cams match nearly all bikes.

The Bad:

Limited pattern options, you might be out of luck if you are a die hard full waffle guy/gal.

Overall Review: There’s only a few points of contact between the rider and the bike and they make a big difference in how the bike feels. The grips are one of the most important contact points for me. When the grips are too harsh, I feel like I am holding directly onto the metal bars and my hands will hurt for ...
