Drop handlebars with flat section

[Ben T]

I have ridden drops in the past with a straight section in the drops like these:
https://eu.ritcheylogic.com/eu_en/superlogic-logic-2-handlebar

However it seems these have been discontinued and I can't find any alternatives. Anyone know any? It seems that all the ones on the market have all curved drops. ( Ideally available as a linkable product to a bike shop for a build rather than seen in the window of a dusty old hoover shop or in somebody's dad's mate's garage .)

Did they not used to be called "ergo" bars? It seems the term ergo now is used to mean the vertical distance they drop is less, rather than anything to do with the shape.

I think I find these more comfortable because I have fairly large hands. Any other recommendations for bars that are comfortable for large hands on the drops?

They were called anatomic bars
A search on "anatomic drop handlebar" gave these in the google ads section

I prefer traditional round bends myself, so no comment on comfort

Hi Ben What you are looking for is a pair of ATM Wingbars.  I had them on my Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Alu Carbon a few years ago - they were very very comfortable. I also have rather large hands courtesty of 45 years in my trade.

These ITM Wing bars can be purchased for sensible money even absolutely brand new do not need to cost telephone numbers.

Getting the correct width in relation to your shoulders is crucial - best of luck.

Syntace Racelite has that shape. I got the narrowest version on clearance about two years ago (regular price is about 110 euro) and quite like it.
