Origin8Bullhorn-II Handlebars

Bought these to make my Priority L Train a little sportier. These are my first set of Bullhorn bars, but definitely seem more aggressive compared to others. The drop is nice, and brings me into a more aero position when going fast or tackling headwinds.Getting these to work with my brakes/shifter was a saga. My bike came with hydraulic levers functionally identical to a Shimano MT200, whose inner diameter is too small for these bars (same with the Alfine rapidfire shifter. Couple hours of dremelling (and one cracked lever clamp) later and they fit like a glove. Not the most elegant solution but it works and is comfortable. I ordered a barend shifter for the rear hub, so hopefully that makes it a bit less janky.

Exactly what I wanted. These bars are perfect for what I was going for and comfortable for my riding style.If you are considering these bars, a few things to keep in mind:- there is a bit of a drop in them so they are not 100% horizontal.- I find them to be long, so the reach to the brakes is a bit long.- there are no centering lines, so you’ll need to pull out the tape measure. (Haha)

I purchase this handlebar for a budget commuter build and I'm pretty happy with them. I got the black finish and its strong and looks great. The shape is perfect with the drop and they're very comfortable to ride with. I noticed one small issue with the item I received, as the logo is misprinted. It's sort of subtly 'double printed' if that makes sense. It's not noticeable from a short distance, but upon close inspection, it's visible. This doesn't really detract from the bars for me, but I knocked off a star because I would expect it to be correct from the factory.Overall, I like these bars a lot and I would certainly buy them again. I'm not sure what the other review is about, as it mentions nothing as to what was wrong with the bars. My guess would be user error.

Have had these for a month or so. Bullhorns are at a nice length and I added Crane Creek TT brakes on the end. Easy to wrap. No flex when on the bullhorns and standing up to hammer down.

Does not fit Shimano Alfine 8 Rapidfire Plus (Nexus shifter for 22.2mm). I had intended to convert my flat bar hybrid road bike into a bullhorn style for more hand positions. Other than that, these look like good quality for sub $30 pursuit bars that will do the job.

Best handlebars I’ve used

These bars are badass man they can take a thrashing

Typical Origin8 product with very high quality. Finish is beautiful, comfortable bend.
