It is this Bontrager bar;

It is very expensive. You can in fact just buy a flat bar and put bar-end extensions on it for the same effect. Just slide them towards the middle of the bar, and put the brake levers on further to the outside.

I can't find aluminum ones on the Trek or Bontrager sites. Such a bar made of aluminum would require welds and so on and would be just as heavy as a flat bar with bar-ends attached. So there is really no reason to do it. Carbon, on the other hand, can be formed into that shape in one piece (basically).
