the fact that the frame is a Kilo has no bearing on handlebar comfort. any same-sized frame with similar geometry will feel the same to you in a manner of speaking.

the size and type of your frame determines that. add those with your choice of bars and you will find the combo that works for you.

If you find bullhorns comfortable then they will probably work for your kilo.

Yea. I don't like such granular, focused questions like this either. A bike is a bike dude. Will 1000 thread count sheets feel good on my *king* sized bed?

if you want to use bullhorns you had better get a bullhorn-specific frame.
