Handlebars for Ergopower?

[mcewen]

I am building up a bike with a Campagnolo Record gruppo and would like advice on what handlebars pair well with Ergopower (current model) levers? The last bike I built up with Campagnolo was with Chorus 9-speed in 1999 and I used a Deda 215 paired with a Newton Stem.

It worked fantastic, but I want to know what has worked for any of you who have built up Campag bikes more recently?

Lots of good choices, but…

I've got a set of Deda Newton shallows, and love 'em.

Any model of deda bars labeled RHM (rapid hand movement) work really well with 11 speed campy levers.

Love my Zipps.

The latest generation are called the SL-70.

FSA Wing Compact. I like the bars a lot, they work super well with the current Ergolevers.

Just keep in mind that the bars are shorter in reach/drop than regular bars, and if you have a good position you'll want to make sure you adjust the stem reach/drop to replicate that position.

Also the difference in reach/height between the tops, hoods, and drops are smaller than a regular bar.

When I went from a regular bar to the FSA Compact I had to get a stem that was 3 cm longer and 3 cm lower in order to replicate the position of the drops.

I like the Ritchey WCS Evocurve. Medium reach, medium drop. I have not tried the Deda's, nut they look good.

A lot of effort went into developing this piece...

i have the deda rhm02 with campy athena on my cx:


also have the deda zero100 with campy chorus on my road, basically the same shape but a little lighter.

Have the Ritchey WCS EvoCurve on both my bikes, Campy levers work great, nice flat section right up to the top of the hood.
