Managed to get first-hand exposure yet? |

Regrettably, not yet! I've put this project on the back burner for now because I have other things going on that are higher priority. Maybe in a month or so...

I put a Ritchey Venturemax on my gravel/allroad/commuter/whatever bike. I really love them. Now, when I switch back to my regular drops on my carbon road bike, it feels kind of rigid.... like wearing formal clothes. I kind of want to put flared bars on everything.

After trying a bunch I have to say my favorite is the 3t Superghiaia. Flat at the top, shifters are not on the flare and comfortable for long hauls. It feels like a premium bar!

Bumping this thread to see if folks have any more recommendations at this point!
Really hoping for a riser bar with flat tops and no flare for a road bike as well as the same with mild flare for a gravel bike. What are y'all riding these days? |

I like just a little flare and flat tops for my CX "gravel" bike, and Ritchey Butano is perfect. I'd consider it for a road bike too, although I prefer a traditional shape Ritchey Curve for road. Check out the Butano though, I have the less expensive Alu version.
Edit: I see Ritchey updated the Butano with more flare (18deg) and internal cable routing. The older version that I have is 12deg and no cable holes. Hope they didn't ruin a good thing! Last edited by zennmotion; 08-11-2022 at 11:45 PM. |

None, and I've tried a bunch. For me, drop bars have no flare. If I need flared drops for the terrain then I'd rather be on flat bars. Also no to the wide drop bar trend especially if you run any saddle to bar drop.

I run 40s on the road bike and honestly used to run 38s when I raced. I think I could afford to go to 42s these days 😁

This is something I could get behind, as I contemplate a gravelish/bikepacking rig - vertical shifters. What's the flare on that? The web page notes it as F1 but doesn't specify the F1 angle.

I've been on these all summer, and find the drop and flare to be both comfy and controllable

I have had the 3T gaiaaaiaaiiiiiiiaiiii (I never knew how to pronounce it lol) and it is a great bar indeed. Flat tops, nice amount of flare, hoods still stay straight.
I just recently bought a pair of Zipp EXPLR and they are SUPER nice as well. I wanted silver bars so the 3Ts were out of the question. The zipps are cheap and excellent, the flat tops are nice (and on an aluminum bar? thats cool), they also keep the brake levers pretty flat. Flare is not that much, its like a perfect intro to flared bars in my opinion, not crazy but also definitely there. |
