Maybe this is old news, but I thought it was pretty interesting that the new Answer Pro Taper bars are 31.8 with a really low rise, and no cross brace....cool to see MTB technology trickling over to the moto end of things...usually it's the other way around....I asked the guy at the shop when they started doing it....his response was, "it's all new technology and it saves 2 or 3 pounds"...i nodded and walked away as quickly as possible....
