PROPLT Ergo Handlebar(Return to Product Page)

Got this bar and a shorter stem to replace the stock set-up on my Specialized Aethos. Stock was 40cm and this is 38cm. Also has slightly shorter reach and shallower drop. I am still getting things dialed in but so far so good. Only pain was the groove for the cables runs directly under the top of the bar, six o'clock if you are looking at profile. It would have been a smoother transition from the levers if it was more towards the front of the bar, seven or eight o'clock if you are looking from the non-drive side. And this is a minor issue. Overall great bars for the price.

The best thing about this bar is the slope and shape of the tops. If you like to climb with your hands on the tops, you'll like these a lot. The issue I have with them is that the wrist clearance when sprinting is not great. I bump my wrists against the corners of the bar behind the hoods when I sprint. If you look at the top view, you'll notice there is a lot of bulk in that corner area. One way they could have fixed this would have been to add a bit more flare, but they kept the drops narrow.

I know the carbon handle is more comfortable, because it reduces vibration. But this is not so much heavy and very comfortable since it technologically designed.

If this is good, I'll probably buying carbon one.

I like the ergo shape of these bars. I have an ongoing issue with numbness in my left hand and these bars seem be the best in resolving that issue in combination with Castelli Arenberg gloves. Overall, nice shape, the right width, and at a decent cost.

Very comfortable handlebar on my hands , no pain , no numbness or risk problems .
