Yoeleo make good integrated bars. Cheaper than Farsport, but also lacking the range of transition spacers.

It's clear that Farsport has invested in their bars and they do represent a good purchase.

It is true that the Company's base of operations will limit trust from Western consumers. As their prices increase towards the level of Western brands many won't see the point in risking a poor customer service experience and shipping delays/uncertainty about customs charges, etc.

I guess if I buy something from a Chinese brand that has no legal presence in my country (and thus no accountability for QC, CS, warranty, safety, labor laws, etc) then I expect their prices to be far lower. F1, Seka, and brands like that shouldn't be charging within 25% of brands that have all of the above because they cost a lot to provide to customers.
Amen!

I had a warranty claim with Farsports for a wheelset, that I rode for 500km. The good: They sent me a new rim. The bad: The whole ordeal took around two month and I had to relace the wheelset.
I am willing to accept these thinks, if the price reflects those risks.

I just ordered the new F1s.
My paypal payment went to EXS Cycling.
Are they the same company?
I said I was interested in the EXS Aerover handlebar snd she said its out of stock.

I used it on my S-Works SL7. Great bar and light! I added the red pin stripe.

You need both the SL7 lower spacer and the Farsports transition spacer

I just got my F1s in 380x110mm.
Its 334g without the 31.8—28.6mm adapter or the gps mount.
Its 398g with the computer+gopro mount, 28.6mm sleeve and the top cap and bolt.
Definitely heavier than my current Black Inc setup.

Does the new bar fit on the new Scott foil?

Nice! (Although lighter would be nicer, it still looks good)

Aryeh, would you be willing to measure some of the dimensions? I’d be interested in comparing with this post by backdoor, especially the stem length and bar reach. 🙏

I wish this shim wasn't so heavy. Does anyone have any ideas for a lighter alternative? Image

The computer mount bolts are also heavy.
I ordered alloy ones. Image

Thanks for the measurements. Definitely helps— seems to confirm the F1s is more “true to size” than the classic F1, which pairs a longer stem with a shorter bar reach than the specs suggest.

I bought a classic F1 recently because I like the original geometry, so looks like I'll stick with it.
