I'm curious if anyone is using the Fizik Cyrano handlebars? The Bull version has piqued my curiosity and was hoping for some input on these bars.
Thanks.

i had R3 Bull on my Zetti for a month. i run Fizik saddles, it was an all-new build, went w/Fizik for stem and bars.
the numbers for reach/drop were good, but i couldn't get the angle quite right for them to be comfortable where the heels of my hands rested when on the hoods (Shimano)
got a smoking deal on Thomson KFC cross bars, so the Fiziks went goodbye. the full-size diameter from stem clamp to the shoulder bends makes my hands happy.

Sorry that I have no experience with the Fizik bars, but a big thumbs up on the KFCs. Not only is the large diameter on the tops great, but the bends themselves are farther out than on other bars of similar width, and that provides a wider platform for my palms both on and behind the hoods. Color my hands happy too.

Been riding the bull version for about 5 months. These are really nice bars with some useful little details like shifter height indicators, as well as indicators to tell you where to finish wrapping your bars.
The aluminum 42cm bars came in around 240 grams. The short and shallow reach is perfect for me, and mates well with the Sram levers. I have found that the bars are slightly stiffer than the FSA wing compact pro that it replaced.
One thing to note is that these bars are measured center to center at the hoods, and not at the drops like how FSA measures their bars, so a Fizik 42cm is more like a FSA 44cm.

I'm an FSA Wing Pro fan too.
Considered the Fizik bars cuz Fizik is great. Instead went with the new Zipp Service Course SL80 - really nice. Similar drop, slightly longer effective reach (due to bar shape). I miss the flatten tops of the Wing Pro. Though the Zipp bar has a very nice bend (like the FSA) and it mates even better with SRAM levers.

Any idea how this shape of the Fizik Cyrano compares to the FSA wing compact pro or 3T Ergonova/Ergosum? I like the FSA's, but I like the shape of the 3T Ergonova/Ergosum even better.
