If you're a DH rider or Freerider it is great. For XC it is way overkill.

If your anything under a super advanced rider, then you dont need it.

Exactly...this is for people doing big ass drops. This is not for the average rider or even averg freerider. I think they may even be oversized but even if they aren't...I hope you are doing 25 footers cause thats what these beasts are made for :)

I've got basically that same bar, minus the cross braces. I like it alright. It's very wide and has a nice sweet.. which I like. I hate narrow XC bars... give me some sweep, some rise, and some width man! That bar is major overkill...... but hey.. it looks cool :o

I still think that may be overkill...they do look good though :)...

Any good rider war dh width will be fine.
