But if the center portion is narrower, it somewhat defeats that purpose. The French ones have a lot less flare, so they're wider everywhere but the ends for a given size, which I would think would make them more useful in more positions. And the hoods should be more comfortable. That said, they don't look terribly different from Nitto Noodle bars.
