I love the way they splay outward- where your fingers actually are. The body is a good width- and I also like that you can rest your palms on the top.

I've used them on a couple of bikes too and love them. I always liked how they look, love how they feel, and the QR for the brakes is a nice touch. Oh, and yeah, they work really well.
