What handlebars are out there with internal stem routing passage

[batman1425]

Thinking about a new bike and it has internal routing through the bars and stem. The stem is a custom piece, but the bar is a standard 31.8 bars aside from having a hole in the clamp area big enough for a couple hydraulic hoses and a Di2 cable to pass through.

If I picked it up, I'd like to swap to something lighter. A carbon short shallow option would be ideal. Not sure what is out there for something like this. Anyone have any experience?

i searched long and hard for the perfect carbon bar mostly based on internal routing and hand comfort. FSA Wing AGX carbon bars filled the bill. Routing was easy and with some mods hand comfort is great.

but if you decide you want to change things around, bars with internal routing will force you to disconnect the hydro lines, probably force new olives, etc and bleeding the brakes.

i just installed these alloy bars:

not as light or quite as comfy as the FSA but pretty good in most aspects. there are indents under the tops that allow for "hiding" the hydro lines, flatish tops, and the lines don't interfere a bit with hand comfort.

given a choice now i'd choose a great carbon compact bar with flattened tops and no holes for routing.

The internal routing for sure isn't my first choice, but the frame doesn't have provisions for any external option. Cables have to go through the bar and stem.

You mean besides Shimano Pro? The Vibe bar has routing.

FSA, Vision, PRO, Deda. They all make a bar with internally routed housings. FSA has the most options.
