Carbon bars with flat tops and shallow drops....

IanTrcp

I'm trying to find some carbon bars with flat shaped tops (like the FSA Plasma or Cinelli ones) and short reach shallow (125mm or similar) drops. I prefer what I think are called ergo shaped bars, the ones with straight sections and defined bends rather than a continuous curve if that makes sense. Oversize is good.

At the moment I've got some 3T Ergonovas fitted, but I'm not really getting on with them - not flat/deep at the first bend, and don't like the continuous curve.

I suffer a bit with vibration / pins and needles on longer days out so bars are important hence my fussiness! Budget not an issue. Any suggestions?

I think the FSA K-Wing (compact) bars fits your specification.
They have the flat tops and are sculpted around the bends on the top as well - similar to the Plasma but without the integrated stem.

I have them on my Bianchi, and I find them very comfortable. I really haven't had any long term experience with any other type of bars as I haven't been cycling seriously for that long, so I can't really say whether they offer any real benefits over Alu bars - there are a lot of more experienced people on here that will say they don't - but I like them a lot And they also look bling :oops: :oops:

If you do a search on here you will find other similar threads asking the same question.

Hope this helps,
Gary.

I have the FSA K-Force compact carbon bars, they fit the bill pefectly!

Flat top, shallow drop, stiff as a board, good grooves for the cabling and look nice too




The 3T Ergonova Team carbon would also be suitable but IIRC they don't have channels for the cables...
