It's amazing how many of these companies selling higher end stuff, don't bother listing reach measurements 🀨

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Very pleased with the Vision Metron Aero dropbar. Great comfort especially for an aero bar with nice weight (235g). Nice big hole for stem cabling / ACR compliant. Get it at starbike for around $295 or so.
Lots of bikes: currently riding Enve Melee, Krypton Pro, S Works Crux, S Works Epic Evo, SL7.
In build: SW SL8

* FSA K-WING AGX has a central hole


* "Vision METRON 4D includes our Aero-Ergo central section" The site lists it as being part of their ACR line of products [Aerodynamic Cable Routing solution]. They have a short YouTube video that shows cable integration listing this bar and the associated stem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFFvlhbmSYY

Thanks.

I gave up on the idea and went with another option.
None of the bars I've seen offer what I need or want, so it's a potentially expensive experiment to gain very little, if anything.

sigma, would you happen to have any photos of the bar installed? Also, what stem are you using?

Looks great. I'm getting mine installed next week probably. From what I can tell on your bike it seems like there is space on the side for a comp mount. My Addict RC though has a pretty wide stem, so I'm not sure if I will be able to go with my barfly or otherwise I have to fork up for Scotts own which attaches to the stem plate, the same as on yours.

For the OP. You also have the Vision Trimax aero which are a little less expensive. They all have 80mm reach.

I had the 4D flat, that's an older model and didn't have the hole in the middle. Or maybe they updated, or it's not the aero version.
