sugihara guidebars

[stihlmadasever]

Hey all,been hearing and seeing a lot of guys online and on you tube raving about sugihara guidebars,how light they are,more balanced,rails dont wear out etc.Is it all propaganda by people being sponsored by sugihara or is the product worth purchasing???

Anyone using them?

How do the handle compared to standard stihl/oregon/husky bars.

I can't feel any difference in weight or handling, but they seem to last much better.

I'm taking much less off de-burring the bars.

Hey mark if you dont mind me asking are they worth the price considering the bar has more longevity,also what saw do you run the bar on and is it felling/climbing etc.

In a nutshell.

 

They almost never bend, either.

560xpg and t540.

 

Certainly compared to the papier-mâché Husky bars they're worth the extra, and my last Oregon wasn't much better.

On Stihl saws I'm not so sure, I always thought their bars were pretty decent anyway, although it's been a while.

Totally agree with you on the stihl rollomatic guidebars,however the are on the heavy side and lifespan can be quite short depending on the type of work the saw is being exposed to regularly.Cheerz for your thoughts,i guess i ll give it some more thought.Tbf they dont seem to do a guidebar for the 201T anyway

Same as Mark but also got a 20" for my 390xp which on a big saw has had some abuse and lasting far better than anything else. Just put a 36" on the 088 so see how that go's.

Went through so many bars on the 540xp it was ridiculous couldn't get 2chains worn out before the husky bars were shot or falling apart.

Hi

 

I agree with previous comments, they stand up to hard use well & require less de-burring, I have a 15" on a 346 & 20" on 365 light pro types with replaceable roller tip.

 

The 365 does seem a bit lighter overall maybe better ballance.

 

They're worthwhile for their durability alone.
