Just got this bar in as a replacement for the V1 bar I had. This bar feels amazing, I really like the finish compared to the first one I had. The knurling is great, not too sharp, but deep enough for a good solid grip. Vulcans Customer Service is great as well as they sent me this bar as a direct replacement for the V1 I had that had a rare warrenty issue. If this bar is an upgrade from the V1 then it will be by far the best bar I will ever use, the V1 was the bar I used for everything and so will this. The rotation is awesome, and the flex is great. Thank you so much for making a great product and sticking behind it. I recommend your bars to everyone I know.
