Your favorite aluminum, standard-diameter, short reach, shallow drop bars… what are they?
Ritchey BioMax II

Awesome road bar. I have been riding on this bar now for two years. Will use it on any future bikes unless something else comes along that’s better for me.
The new FSA short and shallow carbon bars are very, very good. I don’t actually know if they are available to buy yet, but I was demo-ing them this cross season, and liked them.
Some cool features:
-31.8 center section is wide enough to attach aero bars, or even Runkel levers, but the bar still has the super-trendy “aero” cross section on the flats.
-drops are not ergo-bend style, but not trad style either - kind of a middle ground between the two.
-quite stiff, yet reasonably light (220g.)
.
Sorry… edited it to limit it to standard diameter bars… we have like 9 or 10 road/cross/tri bikes and for cross-compatability and economics I like to keep all the standards the same on all the bikes… also the one reason they’re all 9-speed as well.
