I have Zipp SL-70 Aero and I love it,
it's comfortable for long-distance riding, and strong enought for me (I'm 67kg)
and looks great on my Cannondale EVO HM!

I ride TMR01 with Aeronova 2015 version and I agree with F45.

Even if you don't use aeronova, taping whole aero dropbar not to slip when you hold hoods with flat forearms.

Anyway, I never saw ENVE but I saw some of my friend use Zipp's aero drop bar. It looks nice but not my type though.

I just went through this and chose the Easton EC90 Aero. Weight vs aero vs ergonomics vs appearance. I'm buying a 40cm when QBP gets them in stock Feb 5.

The Specialized Aerofly are very nice. I hated the Enve bars, as they have a weird rise just behind the hoods section (near the bend) to allow internal routing. The rise, or hump was extremely uncomfortable to me on any rides over about 40 miles.

the rise behind the hood area is one of the areas that i like about the SES road bars. one of my favorite positions...not on the hoods, but just behind it on the ends of the bar. very comfortable in my palms. i normally ride with 40 width, but these, i got 42 since the measurement is at the end tips of the handlebar, the actual top width is more closer to 37 or close to it. i have a 3T aero bar on my Parlee ESX and i'm in the process of swapping it out for another SES road bar.

I have the Specialised aerofly. I find it very comfortable and stiff enough for me, although I am not a sprinter. The mechanic did complain about the cable routing though.

Canyon H11.. Aero, ok weight , stiff and comfy. Also hides my di2 junction well. Only drawback was garmin mount sucks.. Bolts where breaking every other ride.. I guess garmin 1000 to heavy. Got a raceware and it's all good
