Anything else you like I should consider?

Short reach is key, the spec is 70mm and whisky is 68mm.

My current favorite are also the Whisky/Salsa 12F bars. If you want a flat top, the ENVE Aero bar is flat, flared, aero and expensive.

I like the 3T 3t superghiaia because you get flare on the drops but the levers stay perfectly straight. I have the 44cm one which has a nice amount of flare, they did not make a 42 back then which would have been my preferred but so far its a great bar.

Its not a stiff bar which for gravel I think is a blessing but if you want a stiff bar, I would stay away, specially in the drops, its very noodly.

I've enjoyed my Ritchey Evomax bars on the two rides I've done so far

Salsa Cowchippers, nice flat ramp and a comfy flare.
I have Specialized Hoverbars on my new Diverge, they're okay, but I miss the more pronounced flare of the Cowchippers.

Salsa Cowbell is the correct choice.

Great choice, and my choice for a flared compact bar, but in fact the exact same bar as the Whisky the OP mentioned they didn't like.

I don’t like lots of flare, so the Easton EA70 AX handlebars have been working me. There’s a carbon version too, EC70 AX.

With the 44cm size, c-c, the brake hoods are 43cm apart.

Spank has come out with some flared gravel bars recently that may fit the bill.

I typically use short/shallow bars, but the FSA Adventure works well and it’s cheap. It’s 80/125, IRC

Big fan of the Ritchey EVOmax for road and gravel. Perfect degree or flare for me and a nice round bend.

The Enve Aero bar! Saving up for one!
