Here is my ride with my favorite bars Salsa chromo made by Nitto! Stell mmmmmmm

I tried almost every bar, except aero and flat bars.

The risers feel the best by far on the road.
because they let you ride more upright you will see more, and because of the weight shift to the rear your front will handle a lot quicker. I am zippier through traffic on these than on any other bar I have tried. Comfortable too. All the skids and skips work fine too. Just don't cut them too narrow or your climbs will suck. Shoulder width is fine.
Once you put them on there drive your bicycle through a sharp turn first with drops or bulls, then with risers. You will feel a huge difference. Pick what suits you.
