Packing: In a plastic bag, coming with assembly instructions and a bonus sticker. Nothing extra fancy, fits the purpose. Looks and design: The red decals look fabulous and overall it's a usual high-quality Race Face component. Nicely placed and detailed indicators. Assembling: I've bought it together with a Turbine R35 stem and it could not have been easier. Each step is detailed, what to look out for, how to proceed with the alignment and so on. With the indicators it was child's play to center and position the handlebar properly and once it was done, it looks like a beast. Usage and short-term experiences: I had to make a bit of realignment (turn it a bit more downward) after the first ride and now it suits me perfectly. Haven't had enough time to properly test it out under all circumstances, but I felt no bending, twisting and I came from a RF Diabolus handlebar. It's lightweight too for such a handlebar. Only thing to notice is that the colored decal versions of the Turbine R35 are available only in one rise, 20mm. Maybe I would have gone for the 35mm, but seems I'll do well with this one too. Overall: So far very satisfied with my purchase, as it's almost end of the season I'll be able to make more and rougher testing next spring. For me, Race Face always deliver.
