FSA Compact Bars
 

Is there anyone here who's ridden with both K-Wing Compact and other FSA Compact fit bars?

Are they different or are all FSA Compact bars the same in the drops?

From what I can tell, they all seem to be 125mm drops. I have the Omega Compact and love it.

Also have the omega compact, good bars.

omega compact here as well and love them

I didn't like that they're slightly narrower at the hoods.

Did you even look at FSA's web site?

All the dimensions are right there. Looks like all the compacts are 125mm drops with 80mm reach.
FWIW I own both the Omega and the Wing Compact and they are both great. The omega has a rounded top, the Wing Compact has a flat top.
And save yourself some cash and get the alloy bars. You can get the Omegas for $40 the K-wings for slightly more.

edit: I don't know why I like the flat tops of the k-wings better, but I do, especially when climbing.

I'm just thinking of something a little more aggressive for my next rig.
Something stiffer, but with the same compact dimensions.
I was hoping to get actual experiences from riders who've used both
(as in comparing real word riding to numbers on a site or specs in a catalog).

Thanks for the info guys.

:)

I have the K-Wing Compact and I'm pretty happy with the fit. So much so that I have them on two of my main bikes.

I currently have a K-Wing Compact on my CAAD and I love it too. ;)

Of course I do!
I only have bikes for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!
I still need 3 more bikes! :p

I have the omegas and the k-force carbon bars and yes, they rock. GL
