Ergo Carbon Handlebar recommendation?

Couple that I have tried:

Deda Synapsi - flat top, integrated bar/stem, with semi aero extensions on the front. A bit pricey and hard to find, they show up on ebay from time to time. Only had a chance to ride some of these briefly.

Cinelli RAM - what I have now. Flat top, integrated bar/stem. Molded to fit your hands in several positions. Magnificent finish. Extremely expensive, even if you buy them used like I did. $500 new, I got mine for $200 on ebay in used condition. But also extremely comfortable. They seem to dampen out some high frequency road vibration. And I could stare at that finish for hours. Never thought I'd call handlebars beautiful, but these are.

I guess not unlike anything on a Bike it's personal preference but I have the K-Wings and love them, plenty of places to put your front Paws on a long ride, I especially like the indents on the part before the Hoods for the heel of your Hands (The part between your wrist and thumbs)...

The trick is to get the flat angled right before you wrap the Bars in case you have to rotate the Hoods forward or backwards a bit....

It's hard to tell how much they absorb road vibration because I have Carbon Forks and Steerer etc but I guess they do a pretty good Job....

I've never ridden with a similar Bar of this type so I can't compare...but personally I'd give them 10/10.

Oh, one more thing, I don't have a problem mounting my (Mavic) wintech computer because it's made to be stem mounted, I thought I'd mention this because re-mounting your Computer might be an issue but I think there's a special attachment available...

Good luck!!

I'm looking for a carbon bar to replace the Deda Newton on my bike. Just really don't like the feel of the Deda. I like the feel of the "flat top" carbon bar like the FSA K Wing but I'd like to hear what recommendations are out there. Suggestions?

go check the Stella Azzura carbon bar. i heard nothing but good things about them. very similar to the K-wing, which by the way is an excellent bar too.

ITM K-Sword. Very comforable and no underside indents, so you can put your hands where you want. Also smaller reach and drop (ITM uses outside to outside measurements so it always looks like they are larger) and less anatomic drops than most. Don't bother with the matching stem, it's nothing special and heavy.
