Carbon short reach bars?

Does anyone know of carbon short reach drop bars exist? I’m talk about 65mm!

Let me know! I did my first ride back on Al bars and I can already tell much my hands can feel all the road chatter.

The tough part would be finding a bar shape too.

Using the WhatBars database, it looks like Whisky makes a couple that have 67-68 reach. If you're looking for a really different shape, Salsa's Cowchipper, Woodchipper, and Cowbell all have fairly short reach

I recall the carbon bar Nashbar sold were 65mm reach. But I think 70mm is more common lowish reach as far as multiple offerings/availability..

Whisky No9 6F bars are 67mm reach. Nice shape with just a bit of flare.

I have the alloy version of these bars are really like them particularly for the size of disc shifters, and the drops both flare a bit and are longer (back towards the rider) than most, which I like. I plan on trying the carbon.
