Shortest reach handlebars

[ricerocket]

(...)

PRO PLT CARBON ERGO = 68mm

Good luck finding some anywhere. Ok... finding some less than 44 ou 46cm wide.

I imported a 36mm set from Taiwan.

They are just sold out everywhere. Luckily I found a 360mm somewhere. But I had to spend a lot of time to find it

But on here https://www.pro-bikegear.com/us/road/ha ... -handlebar

[Steve Curtis]

I have some kcnc bars that are probably a 50mm reach. I'll see if I can find them.

I guess they have made some changes, or there was a misstype in pro website. I have this handlebar for a year now and before buying it, pro website was showing different reach for different sizes.

i think it's road.cc which has a review of it with photos showing the 73mm reach for a wider version. I guess it's shimano site mistake. Or... shimano decided it was to expensive to have 3 different molds and now just have the 68mm reach, 120mm drop and so on.

I would really give a go to this handlebar in 38cm. I like all the specs. Of course... I would enjoy for it to be a bit lighter and have the option for internal cabling.

It is obviously a mistake in the chart. If you click at specs and dimension, you see there is bigger reach for bigger sizes.

I honestly have no idea. Shimano seems to be producing stuff fine, but then not distributing it in the right places.

They were abailable in size 36cm on bike24. It looks like I picked the last one tho.

assuming these are only for integrated cabling directly into the stem ... unless the pics are incorrect, they don't have cable ports exiting near the clamp area ...

shame. they look great otherwise.

Do you have personal experience? A lot of Chinese bars are longer than they claim to be.
