I think the actual guide rails are harder than the regular bars. I'll go 6 months of hard use before I have enough of a burr to file off.

Butch, they have more flex but are tougher than you'd expect. You may need to quit using your guide bar as a pry bar but other than that they will last a long time.

Steve, the middle of the bar is a composite resin. I've been using the lite bars for years now, they are the only ones I've run on my 200T's. They are pricey at about $50 each but they last a long time and they weigh almost nothing. A lot less strain on your wrist if you run your saw one handed...

The Stihl 200T is by far the best climbing saw ever made. Anything else is second rate in comparison. And since it will pay for itself with one job, the purchase price is irrelevent. I'd buy them if they cost $2000 each and they would STILL make me a ton of money.
