Forte Flyte OS and "Weyless CF200" Carbon Handlebars
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Performance Inc. and Supergo Inc. are recalling two models of carbon road bicycle handlebars due to a safety hazard. The recalled products are the Performance Forte Flyte OS Carbon Road handlebars (natural carbon gray with "Forte" in red on the left front and "Flyte" on the right front, along with "ACT" and "Advanced Carbon Technology" printed on top) and the Supergo Weyless OS Carbon Road handlebars (natural carbon gray with "Weyless" in white and a red oval containing "Full Carbon Composite," plus "CF," "200," and "Hi-Pressure Solid Compaction" markings). These handlebars can develop invisible cracks that may cause them to break suddenly without warning, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using bicycles with these handlebars and return the handlebars to the nearest Performance or Supergo store location to receive a replacement or refund. The Performance handlebars were sold as separate components, while Supergo handlebars were sold both separately and as part of the 2004 Scattante SC-R bicycle.
