Wonderful gravel bar
Really good drop bar for me as a casual rider who wanted universally usable and comfortable hand positions - in the 46cm width it’s comfortable in the hoods, in the forward part of the drops or on the tail end of the drops. Recently bought a gravel bike and knew instantly that it needed something with a more comfortable and control oriented shape. Does it look goofy? Sure. Is it an otherwise fantastic bar? Yes. I will also note that even at the farthest ends of the bar when pulling it fees pretty stiff.
