A two piece 6061-T6 handlebar built to the highest specification and created with the sole goal of making the most comfortable long distance bar available.
These are awesome, just replaced a BBB Multi-bar (butterfly bar) with these after persistent medial nerve compression and numb thumb and fingers which was making rides of 1 hour + a misery. They are a revelation. Butterfly bars are supposed to give you multiple hand positions but in reality only give you positions that are either 90 or 180 degrees, neither of which are great for your wrists or nerve compression. These give you a nice long grip surface, I'd recommend fitting your controls near (but not on!) the weld to give you lots of options for getting your back straight on a longer ride. Using these with an XL Genesis Longitude frame (I'm 6'2") and a 50mm 80 degree stem, and I've cut the San Marco Flat Handlebar Grip SKY Black 400mm in half to make chunky grips but will in all likelihood get some ESI XLs in due course. I've also double wrapped the loop.

Fantastic alternative to a Jones H bar , used with a Ritchey 60mm 30 degree rise stem , and some extra chunky ESI XXL 8.25" grips for the finishing touch.. would highly recommend planet x super fast delivery & great communication.
