I like the Ritchey EvoCurve: https://us.ritcheylogic.com/us_en/wc...urve-handlebar. All dimensions and a line drawing can be found at the linked website. I have these bars on my gravel/all-road bike and find them very comfortable on- and off-road.

the FSA Wing Pro Compact has always been a favorite for me.

80mm reach, 125mm drop, 4 deg flare, flat tops, relatively light (~270g?)

If there was a similar alloy bar with slightly less reach and less drop I'd be all over it. doesn't seem like there are too many options with flat tops.

Have had these for a few years.
Work well with Campy Ultrashift.

Not flat tops but I came across these Whiskeys the other day. They have polished stuff too.

Yep, plus 2 here. Great bars, exactly what you're looking for.

Those FSA’s have been a favorite of mine for a long time. I’ve been using soma highways for awhile because I’ve been riding a 26.0 stem but am finally going back to my tried and true

Also these.

The flat top portion of the FSA Energy Wing bars are only as wide as the diameter of the bar clamp section - 31.8. ie you're not getting an uber aero section on the top.

No internal cable routing so you do wrap the top section with tape which gives it a bit more bulky from the frontal view and less flat/ aero looking.

i forgot that i used to have them in either carbon or alloy on all my bikes up until the last couple of years when I went to Spec. Hover bars. installed the FSA ones today, applied new tape, and just went for a 25 mi ride. surprisingly perfect.

Control Tech does a 75mm-reach / 125 / 4, aero bar in alu or carbon.

Wiggle sells the same alu bar under their Prime brand.
