Hey,
After a few months (and a crash they survived - better than I did
) they've been good.
Despite what I said above, I do sort of wish they had just a little more drop after riding them a while, but that's an individual thing. Stiffness is good, although I'm not the strongest / best to ask. For me, I've got a tough time getting in sphinx for any real amount of time without something "sticking out" (like the old sphinx bars had / brifter hoods) just because I've got ****ty wrist flexibility, but they are made with that in mind so if you're able to do it on other bars, these will be a step up in comfort.
Overall happy I waited it out. I think there might be a couple of things they could adjust and them be a little better, but as to something you can just purchase without someone like Len Lochmiller customizing them for you, these are about as good as it gets.
