Those Specialized/FSA bars suggest bike designers on acid.
I would happily train a bit harder if I needed to make up for that last quarter-gram of aero drag lost by riding such an odd-looking bike.
That the cables and wires are completely hidden is perhaps an aesthetic improvement in itself, but likely a great maintenance headache as well, further driving up the cost of ownership while greatly discouraging riders finding out for themselves what handlebar dimensions and style work best for them. This is not progress.
