And side view:
Do you have any further information to share? How does it feel as you ride it? I have doubts about its strength since it is super light. I generally ride on hilly routes. Can it handle some heavy braking or steep climbs? It would be super cool if you answer my questions
Bars feel perfectly fine and stiff enough for
me coming from alloy deda rhm bars. My ride profiles look like a comb with a lot of short steep climbs (avg ride is 120-180m of elevation / 10km) and i don’t detect any excessive flex when climbing out of the saddle or breaking on steep descends. Overall I highly recommend those, I was a bit skeptical about a bit triangular shape of drops but it turned out to be really comfy and I tend to chill a lot more in the drops when riding on flats than before

Damn, I just bought some AliExpress 38cm bars before Christmas because the Prime Extralight and Primavera bars were out of stock. Might give them a run for a while to confirm sizing and change to the Primavera in a few months.

Keep until are you going to get the prime.
I'm still undecided about the aero or light version.
But I'll wait some sales before buy

Guys if someone is interested on CRC the x-light is available at 50% discount for the 44cm version.
Also Anyone knows hoe much the handlebar were priced during the christmas sales?

I've just recieved my primaveras. It looks better than the images on wiggle in my opinion. Although I haven't ride yet, it feels pretty solid. I did some "do not try at home" tests such as placing all my weight to the handlebar lifting myself up, (
) and it didn't even flex. I will update my insight once I ride. So far, recommended.

Hi folks. It has been 800kms since I started to use the primavera x-light pro handlebar, 4 of my rides being120+ kms. I pretty much rode it all types of surfaces, even on gravel a little. And I must say that i am quite satisfied how it worked. I haven't noticed any safety issues. On the contrary, it has built confidence from the first kilometer. I even reached 90km/h on a downhill and didn't even doubt about it. Recommended.

Hello. Finally I ordered mine. Any advice how much torque should I get on levers bolt?
Also with the BMC ics steam would it require a different way to install or just trow him inside with the recommend torque?

5 Nm as far as I know.
