I'm aware you have your mind set on drop bars, but since you invited an alternative. An entry level suspension fork with drop bars on top is a poor combination. I suggest a wider flat bar, preferably made of titanium. A different stem is going to be needed if the bar requires a different clamp size. A bar wider than 720mm with a sweep not exceeding 9 degrees will place the forearms at a less obtuse angle with elbows out, which means less bend at the wrists. Titanium provides greater bump compliance than aluminum, another comfort benefit for the wrists. A wide bar with short stem will place your upper body in a more athletic position, than if you were reaching forward on narrow drop bars, which results in much greater control. Part of wrist relief comes from pedaling style & effort. Practice foot heavy & hand light when pedaling. I know this sounds overly simplistic, but pedaling hard forgives many poor fitment/hardware sins.
