Just got a pair in 38cm. 153g. Yes the end of the drops are quite thin, and you can sort of squeeze them if you try pretty hard with your fingertips. No I do not think it will be a problem once wrapped and with a bar end plug installed. This was an emergency purchase since my EXS Aerover barstem is not going to work with 2023 Force AXS. It was either this or the Cadex Race bars, but those aren't in stock anywhere.

Ride update on those ones after around 1500Km.
The ergonomics are good for a compact handlebar, where the drop is not too shallow the reach is not too short as is common as of now. And it is available in 38cm.
They are really stiff and I could not notice any flex when sprinting on the drops or climbing out of the saddle. (~61kg rider)
The drops are narrower and thin where the hands meet the bar and can get a while to get used to. A thicker handlebar tape (2mm<) might fit better this shape for improved comfort. Also a tape with more elasticity will provide a better wrap.
Internal cable routing is much easier than anticipated and was just a matter of pushing the brake hoses through the holes underneath the handlebar whithout any fuss with guides.
The markings for positioning the hoods and centering the bar where slightly off (as always with handlebars).
This is by far my handlebar of choice now, for the ergonomics, weight and aero characteristics.

Pls feel free to post a few more pictures including a few underneath. There are no pictures online showing the wiring hole or how big it is
Could you please post some more detailed pictures of the internal wiring? Thanks
I also got the superlight stem which will be installed on my Supersix which (hopefully) arrives in about two weeks time. Has anyone been able to find the matching Garmin mount online? Closest I've seen is Bike24 who says available in 12-19 working days which is no distaster but not ideal.
I'd be more tha happy to share anything, anything location in particular you're inerested in ?eucalyptus wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 11:55 amPls feel free to post a few more pictures including a few underneath. There are no pictures online showing the wiring hole or how big it is

Oh wow okay. I expected the underside to have a cutout near the steerer for the internal wiring. Weird, very interested now to see this installedBt248 wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 2:06 pmthe top and bottom looks exactly the same, same logo placement , same shape, same width, same finish, I thoguht i took a pic of all sides loleucalyptus wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 1:50 pm@bt248 thanks but what does it look like underside only see pictures of the top and sides
so i thought but then again, even if it had some sort of cut out, you need a D shaped steerer to make that work, my next bike which is a time does not have that so it doesnt really bother meeucalyptus wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 2:20 pmOh wow okay.
