No, those are the 'v1' bars he mentioned. Less flare, slightly thinner at the top

Is this the same as the bikerdoc bars?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_oEDJScp

I like the bikerdoc bar but I feel its a bit too expernsive for a unbranded carbon bars.

I cannot speak for the Balugoe or EC90 bars, but the quality of my specific copy of the Bikedoc bars seriously exceeded my expectations. They are nice and clean and easily as good as the Enve bars they replaced. I think the quality is worth the cost.

That said, there is a considerable price difference between the EC90 and Bikedoc design. The EC90 bars are about the same price at Aliexpress wholesale price as I was offered as the per unit cost AFTER the cost of the mold. This makes me believe there are other differences (e.g., material). However, I would choose based on your desired shape, since the bar shapes are so different. The 7mm lower lever position is not minor, nor is the similar amount of additional wrist clearance when sprinting or climbing in the drops.

I had the Enve Aero bars on the bike prior, and I liked them a lot. I did find out of the saddle in the drops; the Enve bars had just enough clearance. The Bikedoc bars have a little more than the Enve bars did and the ec90 bars will be less than the Enve bars, if the drawings are correct. The Bikedoc bars also work better for me in the aero hoods position than those did because of the lack of rise on the ramps where the drops meet the tops. I do turn my levers in, though less than before, as mine are set up using the current UCI rules as a guide. I had previously found that the position was most comfortable with the Enve bars was with the levers turned in enough so that my wrists naturally sat inside of the rise on the ramps. Hope this is helpful.

I ordered the ones from ec90 and they sent me their track bars on accident. They've been pretty slow to respond unfortunately. The track bars are quite stiff so I'm not too worried about the road version assuming it's the same mold without horns. Hopefully they send me out the new ones soon

Sup guys,
as im contemplating on tt-x38 frame, im looking for a separate stem-handlebar combo for full internal routing. 

The reason is because I already have stem-mount tri-bars Controltech Falcon mini (must be used on fixtured squared/round stem). Using normal drops handlebar, at least i can still race in draft-legal races.

so far stem-handlebar combo available is https://www.velobuild.com/products/2021-new-carbon-handlebar-with-separate-stem , but i dont like the look of the stem.
for stem thats internal routing, theres this kocevlo stem : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005436665835.html .
i need help for handlebar recommendations with center hole that the brake cables can go direct into center stem.
*in event i want to convert full tri cockpit, i can use TanTan tri basebar as it has center hole for direct internal routing into stem

Also i remember seeing theres an oem factory that makes similar handlebar style with mono-tri bar attachment like the new canyon aeroad cockpit (it looks a lil fugly; but hey, a solution worth considering), but i cant find it now. Do link me if you recall the brand

Deda superzero rs handlebars with deda superbox stem, they confirmed to me that handlebars can be clamped with clip on aerobars.
I wouldnt trust kocevlo 150gram carbon handlebars to withstand forces from clip on bars

As an author of this topic I must say I bought another one over a year ago for my "terrain gravel" (2,25" tires, eagle drivetrain) and it's also perfect. But to the point. Earlier was mentioned horrible internal routing. I can confirm that again.

However I can also confirm, that it's possible to route the narrowest version thorough the handlebars, super short 70mm -17* stem with a drop, through headset in its lowest possible configuration (no spacers above cover) and 95mm head tube (TFSA JH-02 smallest size frame). And a rim brake. Plus old cable version of di2. And it works. No idea why but it works. PITA, not worth it. But doable. I'm also 100% sure you will not be able to do it with mechanical shifters. No way. It's horrible enough with di2. It looks like in this photo below. You can imagine where the cable housing goes. Shimano housing, not links as it would be even worse having to put all of the links inside I believe.

What stem is that? Finding integrated stems that aren't boat anchors is tough.

Another Balogue / no name / generic whatever it is from Aliexpress.

Bought exactly here:

My version 70mm -17* weights exactly 116g. Without a top cap as far as I remember.

Saw Mr. Lino review these bars in an old video: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007314052092.html. They actually look pretty decent and have some nice flare to them.
