FSA championed the concept of the wing-style handlebar years ago. They provided riders with the first-ever alternative to the traditional round shape of bar tops. The flattened cross section nicely molded to the shape of loose fists -- exactly what many of us have when we climb with our hands on the tops. With the Wing Pro Compact, FSA mates this wing-style top with a shallow ("compact") drop. At a 125mm drop and 80mm reach with round drops, you can easily find your sweet spot in the drops without having to force your hands to conform to the flat area of an anatomic drop.

The Wing Pro Compact is made from double-butted, tapered, anodized, shot-peened 2014 aluminum. Even though it's aluminum, not carbon, it weighs only 40g more than the K Force Carbon Compact bar -- 260g. They have a 4 degree sweep, keeping them nicely narrow in the hoods, but allowing for added leverage when you're hammering in the drops. They come in a 31.8mm clamp only, and are available in 40, 42, and 44cm c-c.
