Most comfortable (compliant) carbon bars?

[vinuneuro]

I ride longer distance, don't race and don't ride out of the saddle much so stiffness (which a lot of bars seem to prioritize) isn't as much a priority as comfort. What bars offer a comfortable and complaint ride without being noodly?

Thanks.

The first 3 things that come to my mind:
-26mm Carbon bars
-aero (flat horizontal section) light bars.
-install those mass-dampers on the bar end that neutralise vibrations.

You can check out the Bontrager isocore/isozone bars with dampening pads included.

Im very satisfied from Easton EC90 SLX3 Handlebar.

Compliant, very comfrotable and stiff in same time (actually much stiffer then Zipp Service Course SL-80 that i had before).

I had few long rides (last one 207km), and on very bad roads, so i realized how good is it on this kind of rides..

After doing a lot of reading it seems Easton, Ritchey and Enve may provide the most compliance and damping while retaining stiffness. I don't suppose anyone has any comparison between these three brands? Agree that a slightly flattened top really helps for long rides.

25mm tires. Cinelli cork bar tape. i have aero Enve SES road bars where i can rest my forearms on. the tips of the bars flare out...never hit with my knees.

This thread is making me feel better about my yesterday's impulse purchase. Easton EC90 SLX3 for 103.49€ from Chainreactioncycles.
