I just put the ITM K-sword on my ride with the ITM carbon stem (not integral). This is my first carbon bar as well as one with the flat profile. I know it's dang pricey, but my God is this bar truly incredible. Not only is it light, but the "ergonomic profile" line is no lie. The flat top section is far more comfortable to lay your paws on, providing a perch that doesn't require you to cock your wrists up, and the scalloped/sloped areas at the outboard positions give you a truly comfortable alternative to the hoods and drops. If you can find one and afford one, get it. I give it a 10/10 for performance, finish, ergonomics, and pure sex appeal. I hope that this helps (Lord knows the bar helped make my 75-mile ride today even more enjoyable).
