Questions on flared bars (may have been asked, I'm asking again)

Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

There are larger 2x mount models.
True those add on bars can help, I've seen those. I would prefer to just have room on the bars and not add the extra weight.

I put Enve Gravel bars on my latest build and really like them. The flat tops are so comfortable on long rides (my last was 5 hours for Raymond Gravel Grinder).

They look like they would be great bars from what I've seen in pictures. Right now I'm waiting on Shimano to put their new carbon Pro Discover bars in the market to see what they turn out like before buying a new set. They are one of the 3 on my short list - which also includes Enve Gravel and Salsa Cowchipper Carbon.

Out of curiosity I measured mine at 35 grams. The potential aero impact is probably larger than the weights.

Wow, that's light! Heck, K-Edge mounts for Garmins weigh 44 grams.
