Another Fine Charge Product
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Charge's "Slice" Bullhorn Bars are an excellent choice, especially for the urban rider who needs good control and appreciates their cool appearance. From Wiggle - good price and super-quick delivery.
In a word - excellent."

Looks nice
Pros: Attractive, cheap
Cons: Low Quality, Poor Fit
"I needed some bull bars to fit my Langster Steel. These ones looked nice so I bought them. I got them to fit but they are quite a small diameter compared to the factory track bars of the apparently same diameter. The Charge bars were quite loose and I had to severely tighten the bolt holding it in place. The paint finish doesn't help as there is little friction between the stem and bar to keep it located.
To sum up, they look nice but are poorly thought out and feel cheap and flimsy (Not lightweight quality).
If I could travel back in time I would not have nought them."

Almost great

Gnarly
Pros: Great Value, Attractive
"Like them, they make my commute bike look gnarly and because of the more racy position (than my previous risers) I reckon I'm quicker on my standard commute too.
Good quaility and good looking as you'd expect from Charge.
Note of caution - if you're thinking of getting bar end brakes (TT-style) to go inside the ends of the bullhorns, the inner diameter is different to the standard I think. I got some tektro cheap somethings that *should have* fitted but I had to take the adjuster ring off and hammer them in instead. They look mighty good now though :-)"

"Bought the charge plug racer 2010 found the drop bars a bit harsh on my back, so replaced them with these, and they are great. Perfect cruising position and any hill you're in the perfect position to get out of the saddle and power on up. Oh..... and they look great too.............."

Be wary of using a very long stem
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"I got these bars in pewter which blends in extremely well with the titanium stem I use - but it is a very long stem and with the extra forward length of the horns this puts a lot of vertical leverage on the headset so it feels ever so slightly flexy. Not the fault of the bars but of the bar / stem combination."

Charge Slice Handlebar
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Bought this to replace a flat bar on my fixie. Light, comfortable and very useful on hills. The width and shape are just right for a choice of riding positions, with space for some cross levers.
Assuming they last well, I would go as far as to say BARGAIN!!!"

Good product, but a bit wide
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: a bit too wide to look really cool
"Generally very happy with my new handlebars. They replaced a set of cut-off drops that were so wonky I was scared to go on to the ends. Slid these in, and applied some beer-can shims (I think I measured my clamp-size wrong :$).
I really didn't want to put bar-tape on as they looked right natty, but on it went, and now I'm dancing on the pedals all the way up whatever passes for a hill in Central London.
The only problem is I think they're a little bit wide. They don't look ridiculous enough or feel uncomfortable enough to really want to replace them, but don't quite look cool enough somehow. Anyway, for less than £20 I ain't complaining"

Very comfortable
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"Bought these to replace the drops on my Moulton TSR27 . I found I was riding on the hoods all the time, so decided to try a bullhorn style bar.
The Charge Slice Bullhorns are just the right width and reach to feel like riding on the hoods. They look good (I think so anyway!) on the Moulton, and add some more adjustment for a fussy rider!"

"Great set of bars!
I ordered these because of the low price, a low price I had faith in because of the Charge brand. The bars look nice, great finish on them with simple branding. They're comfortable and look nice, lots of hand possition variety too.
Would recommend!"

"I like Charge and its products very much, I'm a real fan.
This handlebar, though, is really toooooo large! It is my fault, I should have read the technical details, but I was a bit disappointed anyway.
It looks really funny on my fixie! A real BULL HORN! :-)
Anyway, I confirm the very good quality of this brand.

Classic Bars
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, Great Value
"I swapped out the bars on a Charge Plug Freestyler and popped these in their place. They improve the looks of the bike no end, and are a comfortable amendment, offering a couple more positions on the bike, so improving long distance comfort. Simple but functional."

Comfortable Bars
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: none so far
"My hobby is breathing new life into older bikes, mostly from the 60's, 70's and 80's.
I convert them to fixed wheel having seen the rise in the popularity of this sort of bike.
I ordered these bars as I liked the shiny look and they suited my purpose.
I have found them to be be comfortable, strong and durable, they have scratched a little but not too much. I have them fitted to my everyday hack and they have proved to be excellent, they're strong,they have to be as I'm pushing 16 stone andthey are very comfortable, they're wide enough for me and they don't flex.
I would recommend them if for no other reason than the looks.
Oh, and they're very reasonably priced, I got mine for £19 from this site."
