I have Nitto's chrome moly bars, the use of the more costly steel alloy, just like in bike frames,
lets the strength be maintained While thinning the tube wall and so saving weight.
+ I expect they have springiness that a more substantial, thicker wall tube, would lack,
but since im sitting more upright, the weight, hands, on the grips is reduced.. anyhow..
++ bar end shifters fit in the end easily..
