Thanks!

Although, I did enjoy a vintage clip of a TdF descent... I think.
I'm all for odd/revolutionary designs (I have a Lefty and a Grail)... but that product may not yet be ready for prime time.

Reviews I've read really positive on the hand comfort and position. Thought I'd ask if anyone's tried the road version since this 4yr old thread started?

I love those bars and have used them (and the somewhat similar Ritchey Streem) for years. Recently, I wanted to try 46cm bars and tried several...landing on the Shimano.Pro PLT Ergo which is also extremely comfy like those two bar. The ENVE compact road bar and their gravel bar have really good ergonomics but I prefer the flat top bars with a little back sweep to reduce reach on the tops. The flat wide tops make them far more comfy for me. The FSA K-Wing AGX is close but I still prefer a wider flat top.

I have them and have used them for the last two seasons. I think they're great - noticeably less tension in my shoulders and by using these, I was able to get rid of a nagging pinched nerve at shoulder level that has been an ongoing problem. So I'm a fan and (if they get back in stock), my other road ride is getting a set too.

He must be referring to the Coefficient bar. That angle does indeed relax the traps and shoulders.

They are very nice. I thought they were quite comfortable and the flare was great. My Dedas (I also took those off though..need wider than 44s) were also somewhat similar to the FSAs. The FSA 46 is around 45 cm at the hood centers. The little flat spot is a nice touch as well.
