Looking for short reach 25.4 handlebars

Does such a thing exist? I know the Nitto 105 used to have a 65mm reach but apparently they changed them to 95mm a couple years back.

I think if you look up Nitto, the 105 still has a pretty short reach (65 or 70?), but I've only seen in narrow sizes - I think 39 or 40 is the largest. It is the "small" version of their 115 which, like all Nitto bars, has a fairly conventional to extra long reach (thinking 80-95 somewhere). Double check that though.

Too bad you're not looking for 26.0 bars. There's three I've found recently with ~75-80 mm reach and ~130 drop - the Soma Hwy 1 and the Civia Emerson. Both available in black and silver, and the weight is not outrageous- 300-315 grams.

I also found a black bar locally in a Giant dealer - I believe they had Giant tags on them, but the bars themselves have nothing. They are about the same drop and reach as the two I mentioned above, in 26.0, but black, not silver.

I have all three in my garage right now (size 42) and actually compared them to each other. All three are very, very closely similar, differing only in reach and only by 5 mm or less between all three. But the drop and the shape (the new-ish "compact" type) are really close. For what it's worth, I might be selling or sending back either the Civia or Soma (both silver) just because I ordered both to compare and only need one.
