I bought this bar recently, to revive my 2010 specialized allez comp and to give road cycling another go. This bar is very comfortable, sturdy, and feels really good when cornering. I guess because of the flared out drops, I am able to really lean into the corner with more control. The bar is really good for road.

I chose this handlebar for its overall design. It is well finished and, as best as I can tell with carbon, well made. I particularly like the flattened (aero?) top section, the provision for internal cable routing, the relatively low rise, and the slight flare. I was able to route DI2 cables and hydraulic brake lines through the handlebars, making for a very neat look. The only thing I would like to see different would be to have a little more non-curved area in the drops for my hands to hold.

These bars fit perfectly to my Giant Contend AR3. I am very pleased with the fit and finish, and the installation was simple. A standard set of bar tape worked fine on these bars too.Would recommend to a friend. I bought the 458mm Red Line Matte and I love the new flared setup. For me very comfortable.

This handlebar was light, felt and looked just right.Unfortunately had to return it as the stem diameter was less than what my gravel bike needed with a front suspension by Rockshox but I would have definitely kept it.As a result cannot comment on durability, however, I do have another RXL SL handlebar on my mtb and have had zero issues with that (aside being a tad too tight at the stem and needing a little scraping of the paint/material on the inside).

I replaced original Bontrager bars that came with my Project One Trek Domane SLR7 and cost upwards of $300 with this one. What a huge difference in comfort on long rides and even looks. Excellent product at a very nice price. Highly recommend.NOTE: the bar width is measured at the drops. It is narrower at the hoods, because the drops are flared out. Make sure you understand what the width at the hoods are when you buy this handlebar.

Bought the 458mm, great shape, quality appears good. Seems easy to pass cables (outside to inside with the cable, then feed the housing over it).***The 45.8cm bar is 37.5cm at the hoods*** that's pretty wicked narrow compared to what I've ridden previously, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I feel like these numbers should be clearly published.

good, pretty and very good price , The installation of the cables inside the handlebar is not easy but not impossible, it has a very good finish and very beautiful, in its first use after its adjustments I was able to do a test ride of about 30 miles, it is very comfortable and comfortable. installed with a carbon stem as recommended by the manufacturer and respecting its 4NM torque (the only thing I didn't like is that the information marked on the handlebar does not match the other end and neither do the middle assembly marks)

The internal routing is terrible. The bars overall are good enough, especially for the price. But, if you're buying them for the internal routing then buyer beware.While not impossible to route cable housings through the bar, it will suck every last bit of enjoyment you have in working on your bike. You will hate the process. You will make up new swear words.Routing two brake housings and one shifter housing. 4 hours later I'm taking a break and writing this review. Still not done.I've been building bikes since the 80's. Never have I run into a bike component that's so damn annoying that's not functionally broken, but just a bad design.
