Came across a bike the other day that had Fasst Flexx bars bolted on, and honestly I had to do a double take, I never seen them in person before, and at first glance I thought something was broken until I realized nope, that's just how they're built lol. I can say they've got a little bit of engineered flex to take the sting out of rough trails and big hits. Oh well. it really makes sense on paper, but does it actually smoothen things out ?
