Both... depends on the bike. I actually have two identical bikes that are currently set up with drop bars, I will be converting one to Trekking bars. Currently I have a converted MTB with trekking bars for rough stuff touring, the drop bar bikes run 700c wheels and are better suited for roads or graded paths. Current trekking bars came from Nashbar, probably their house brand.
