Wanted to test my dental plan so I ordered up some $40 carbon bars in April last year. 

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804683890720.html

They arrived quickly and were immediately put into service on my gravel bike and taken to a 100 mile race that included pavement, gravel, and single track trails.  They have since been through nearly 4000 miles of duty on the trainer and out in the real world on everything from fresh pavement to smoother blue rated MTB trails.

Color me shocked, but they are still going strong.  They are also pretty dang comfortable. 

I am 165cm and 53kg. I ordered the 370-510MM model and have them installed on an all aluminum everything Kona Rove AL.

Did anyone order those ultra light 150 grams or less handlebars? I had bad experience with RXL SL because they flexed so much and they aren't even that light. These Kocevlo being so light would be even worse?

Just looking for a simple handlebar with flat top.
I have used these for like a year or two and they are good. drops are flexy but otherwise good. mine in 38cm were 135g. I'm 68kg with a sprint around 1200w~
