Is it possible to use this handlebar for traditional frame without hole on the steer tube? I want to hide the front brake hose only.
It is for my exploro RaceMax.

I bought a cheap 3K carbon fibre stem cap with black bolt, happy with the result. I aslo have aluminium one if I take that fancy.
I bought a 3k carbon weave gloss finish cap as well and it really didn't look right with the matt black ud finish of the bars. I have a black metal fsa cap on it now, as matt black ud carbon (without weave) is not available anywhere.

Agree never seen a full black UD carbon cap, but in saying thatyou can just rattle can matt black your 3K cap for the desired effect. I quite like the 3K contrast as it matches the computer mount, which I sanded down to get a matt finish.

Yes you can have the shifter mech or Di2 cable and the rim brake or disc hoses inside the handlebar they will exit via the big hole under the stem area to be then routed into the frame's holes.

Was gonna enquire about a set of H10 but the thin-ness of carbon would lead me to believe these would be a bit flexy for sprinter types. Can anyone say how the flex is on these?

You'll be fine. It isn't flexy and if it were just a little bit, you wouldn't notice. I'm not a "sprinter" per se, but I can do decent power at 68kg. I have three races on mine now with no noticeable issues.
I do have another weird thing to report. The way the bars clamp on the steerer makes it very difficult to get the correct headset preload. They open super wide at the back and when they close it presses on the spacers somehow. It ends up clamping down on the headset and causes the headset to be rough.

I enquired with winspace this morning and they came back with 'MAY' for new production of handlebars.
