Anyone use profile bullhorns?

Are they good bars, or too flexy?

They are good to use but the hole for the brake cables sometimes cracks.


S/F,

i've used them before and was pretty happy with them. i believe the nitto bullhorns are somewhat stiffer, at least they feel that way to me, but i didn't feel any major flex with the profiles. i would definately recommend them.

after switching from some oversized drops, the profile horns were definitely flexy. But i feel that this has more to do with the incredible stiffness of the drops.
Sure, they're a bit flexy, but nothing bad 'cept in the slowest, steepest hills.

They're aluminum, I believe, so No, They're not too flexy. I love my set. I will part with them for cheap, if only because I now ride my gouge bars when I want to ride that style bar.

mine have survived a couple crashes that should have destroyed them. Great value IMO.
