Handle bar types

[VeloRacer]

Ok, I want upgrade my handle bar and I see you get different shapes and bends. At the moment I am using a bar with an 'anatomic' bend and I know what a 'classic' bend is. So...what is 'compact anatomic' and 'shallow drop'??

This should be an interesting discussion. I'm also in the market for new bars as the reach and drop of my FSA K wing bars is stretching my out on the bike.

 

Also looking for a shallow drop kind of bars with a shorter reach.

I went from the FSA K-Wing flat carbon bar to this bar, and i find it much more comfortable in the drops.

FSA k-wing, but the shallow drop one, love it.

Thanks for the explanation and picture Zaskar.

 

I think EC90 SLX3 is my next buy.

That SLX is nice. What i don't like about the FSA's is the angle at which the levers are tilted. Looks a bit weird.

That looks like a lovely bar 'The Guy in Pink'

It has some good hand positions, and the flat bit is concave underneath for the fingers. A very good climbing bar.

That is also nice, do you have any photos of it on the bike?

The only photo's i have are not too good.
