Test drive with Convertibars

After 2 days of commuting to work for a total of 100 miles, I have the following observations on these Convertibars comparing to the Helibars:





1) The weight was off my arms by at least 70-80%
2) The steering is so much lighter (due to less weight applied to the handlebars from my upper body) and I felt I could steer faster and easier
3) Counter-steering is easier because of more leverage due to higher bars
4) My neck is more comfortable as I didn't have to bend up my head to look straight
5) More wind blast
6) Turning my head when lane change is easier as my body is straighter
