Flat bar replacement

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Replaced the flat carbon bar that came on my Scott Spark. Puts me in a very comfortable position, and the bike handles better on the downhill. I lose nothing while tilted over the top tube for climbing. New cross-country bikes appear to be designed for more stability on fast descents. And I actually like descending now and enjoy my first love, climbing, just as much. The rise seems to complement the geometry much better than the flat bar.
