I just bought a Deda Gravel100 RHM handlebar... seems to be Cowbell-adjacent. I've been happy with Salsa bars (Bell Lap, Cowbell) in the past as well as Deda's road bars (Zero100) and this seems like a good mix. I'll report back as soon as I get the bike built.

i own FSA K-Wing AGX

i like them a lot. They're carbon and not cheap. For alloy these bars look close to perfect for my riding style - Zipp Service Course SL 70 XPLR handlebar

Can't recommend the Ritchey Venturemax bars enough, which also come in XL sizing if you need wider than 46cm. Otherwise, I think the Salsa Cowchipper bars are a nice compromise as the Woodchippers are a bit too flared, the Cowbells not enough.

Enve aero bar. Perfect amount of flare, IMO

I like the Easton EC70X (is that the correct name?)....not much flare, but enough. I tried the Enve gravel bars and they have a lot of flare, but it makes the hoods effectively narrower, and the bars get wider all the way to the ends, where I never put my hands.

I have the 1st gen Easton EC70 AX bar, which has served me well, but I want a Di2 compatible one. 3T Superghiaia looks good, but it current out of stock.

I replaced my FSA bars with these and have been really happy with them.

I have/like the Shimano/PRO Discover medium flare on one bike.

I also have PNW Components Coast handlebar. It's SUPER wide (come in a 48 and 52). Shallow/short drop. Very fun.

I just picked up a set of Coast bars as well, excited to try them. Unmounted, my initial impression is that they might not be quite as comfortable as the Venturemax bars, but we'll see soon.

I’ve been running the PNW Coast 52 on my Cutthroat and they’ve ruined me for other bars. Love them on all things unpaved and really good off road.

I went with these recently on a refresh and found them quite nice.

I'm a huge fan of the PNW Components Coast handlebar with the Coast Stem.

I was a 44cm slight drop bar // 110 mm stem and went to the 48cm PNW Flare with a 90 mm stem and it matched my fit well.

They also have 52cm flare bars, but I dont mountain bike much with my gravel bike

Anybody used the Lauf Smoothie? I’m intrigued but doubt there’s much experience with them on a bike without the Lauf Grit fork, which kind of takes the nuance out of a review of the bars alone.
