Rudii Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I'm looking to upgrade the handlebars on my Spark 910 and CWC is selling this Marvel Carbon handlebar for cheap. https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/marvel-xc-ud-carbon-handlebar. It matches my current bars almost to the tee but the question is should I go for it just because it's cheap or should I save my money for a more reputable brand at double the price? Does anyone have this one their bike and what's the experience?
26er Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I have been riding with one for about a year now ,Wines2whales and a few other eventsNo issues
Morne Veer Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 My son had one on his previous bike, and did all the provincial xco races with it, and had a fall or two with them as well. No issues or anything bad to report. (Bike sold now, and I know the new owner (kid) also had no issues with the bar, and also a little rabbit rider, who spends more time in the air than on the ground :-) Think as many pointed out in the past, Marvel is CWC's own branding, but the product would come from reliable sources / suppliers overseas (probably the East where most carbon and other cycling goodies come from).

Wow, I didn't know that... Thats cool. do you know if they carry any guarantee with the brand..?
Schnavel Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 So Marvel is there own branding.. Wow, I didn't know that... Thats cool. do you know if they carry any guarantee with the brand..? Give them a call - I'm sure they would be able to give you an answer immediately.
Morne Veer Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Give them a call - I'm sure they would be able to give you an answer immediately. Don't quote me, but I have been told by a number of people that "oom chris" is more than happy to simply swap out a Marvel product for any defect. Heard this from someone who was not happy with his Marvel Light's battery life, who went back to CWC and they simply gave him a brand new unit (light and battery etc, whole new box), no questions asked. Heard the same thing from someone who said his Marvel floor pump gave a bit of a hassle (not sure what), and they simply gave him a new one from the floor. Guess with these Marvel products not having a local distributor, and our Oom bringing in himself from abroad, this would in most cases be there actions if one do experience problems with a Marvel product. Just sharing what I know from mates and acquaintances, not saying this is their policy or warranty procedure.
