I'm running Hover (round) bars with 15 mm rise on two Canyons.

Alloy (specialized) Hover bars on an Ultimate AL SLX
Carbon (s-works) Hove bars on a Ultimate CF SLX

It's personal taste but I actually really, really like the look of them. Kind of like the doors on a delorian or a bird in flight ;-)

I used to have a problem with my knees hitting the bars when I was out of the saddle. These have entirely eliminated that problem without requiring me to stick more spacers under the stem. Stem is now exactly half way up the steerer, with equal spacers either side and IMO it just looks great.

The carbon bars are about 70g lighter than the alloy ones... (I have the exact weights of each at home)
@robertbb: I am considering these bars. Do you have the exact weights of the carbon and alloy versions? I'm thinking of trying out the alloy ones instead of splashing the cash on the carbon versions and ending up not liking them.
277g alloy.
210g carbon.
