The power of marketing? I’ve been asked this quite a few times and I usually respond by asking if you’ve pushed down on the OneUp bars?
I accept that the OneUps have more ‘forgiveness’ than your typical 35mm carbon bars but jump on an aluminum 31.8 bar from Renthal, ProTaper, SQLab, PNW and you’d probably put them in the same category. I do at least.
The Fasst bars actually flex 5°. It’s easiest to see/feel running too soft of an elastomer but they offer legitimate suspension. Whether the amount/type of suspension is worth the investment (money, weight, complexity) comes down to the use cases as I’ve outlined.
I will add that OneUp makes solid stuff and it would be awesome to see them offering their bars in additional sweeps. I’d love to see more companies doing a 12°+ backsweep bar to compliment their standard option.
