Well, they've finally released the MTB approved version, and unfortunately, they're heavier than a ships anchor

Heavier than a whole ship!

I can't see why the 'road' version wouldn't suffice. Cross bars seem to cope pretty well off road and it's not like you'll be getting all rad and what-not

I suspect its because the sweep back grip bits (technical term) are welded on, instead of being bent back, giving a weak point at which they could break, though I could be completely wrong?
Edit to add- I think I may be wrong as I think they are bent back after all

Wow. I thought Jones bars were ugly, but those...

Jones bars are a thing of beauty compared to those .
