Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Its a handlebar I would like to try as well. Not sure if worth swapping out my FSA Kwing for as they are similar.
Spesh bar shown is a bit cleaner in design with less swoopy-ness...more minimalist which I like.

I wish FSA would make the original K-wing bar, but without the ergo shape in the drops. Give me a K-wing with a more traditional lower part.

The Specialized bar looks like a winner, but I'll never buy another SBC product unless it's under duress.

I have a preference for rando bars, Nitto and GB are my favourites.
