Anyone know why this has been removed from the Trek UK website?

Perhaps they're releasing a new version? I find this bars wonderful but at the same very disappointing for its price since it lacks internal cable routing. When your bike is a disc brake with electronic gears, this is just bad.

Are these bars measured end to end or center to center on their website?

Trek measures center-to-center.

I am thinking of getting one of these.
I currently have a FSA OS99 100mm stem and an ENVE Compact 420mm handlebar on my Etap Supersix.
I’d like to go with a slightly narrower width. According to the replies I feel like I should go with the 400 x 90 version. Any advice?

The reach on the bars is printed as 85mm but the site does state 92mm. I've emailed Trek to clarify but no one seems to know.

I've tried to get a good answer on how they measure reach on these and been unsuccessful with Trek's customer service and my LBS.

Do they measure reach center of the top bar to center of the drop or center of the top bar to the leading edge of the drop?

It make about 12mm of difference.

To reiterate what's been said here, they are very light. Just sold a 42cm/100mm set that weighed 221grams and I still have a 40cm/100mm set that weighs 219gr. As for flex, there is more than the previous setup (ENVE aero road with Extralite Hyperstem) but less than my current setup (3T Aeronova with ENVE standard stem).

Cervélo Áspero - 8.28kg

The folks a Trek got back to be late last week. The drop and reach for the XXX Bar/Stem is center to center as in this drawing.
