Modern drops with removable logos, little flare

Flared bars aren't working with my wrist any more, I prefer the levers sitting as vertical as possible. Also not a fan of handlebar branding.

Any recommendations for 31.8 diameter, 44-46cm wide, little flare, short reach, compact drops, and removable or very subtle logo? A salsa cowbell without flare would be perfect. Running with GRX mechanical shifters.

Thanks!
Chris

Buy the bars you like and rub off the logos with some acetone. Not hard to do.

Just got the Zipp XPLR. Used to have Cowbells. Controls sit vertical on the Zipp and the branding is black on black.

Don't most handlebars meet that description?

Not all logos come off easily, some seem to be under a clear coat, I'd rather not do any sanding. Acetone is great and works on my previous Ritchey bars. I am just seeing if there is anything new and worth trying that isn't crazy flared gravel bars.

The XPLR bars looks great, especially if hoods are still vertical.

Xplrs have flare IIRC. You want SL70s if you want no flare. Still offered in a version where the logos can easily be acetoned off, as well as a ghastly version with a HUGE Zipp logo on them.

Thanks for the suggestions! Has any one tried to rub logos off the Easton EA70s or Zipp SL-70 Ergos?

These look the same but with a more manageable logo

Yep. I have some of those in a 42cm width that are yours for a charitable donation to an animal shelter + shipping.

Oops. Just seen you want 44-46cm wide. Well, the offer still stands.

I super appreciate this! I am looking for wide bars, but hope someone else can take you up on this generous offer.
