Handlebar Recommendations Please

[bsharp77]

Hi all,

Looking for some recommendations for a new handlebar for my LCR018-D.
The HBR17 that it came with looks great and is fine when on the hoods, but I like to spend time on the tops for climbing and the shaping of the bars here is giving me trouble - its just not a nice place to spend any time.

I'm looking for a nice aero flat top integrated bar/stem:
Competitively light
80mm stem option
Fairly compact reach (in the 70's range)
Not too fussed about stem angle, 6 or 10 degrees are both workable
380mm width (although might consider 360mm)
Preferably no flare on the drops, or minimal flare if possible
Not crazy expensive (competitive with Lightcarbon's offerings)

Lightcarbon themselves offer a HBR13 and HBR14, either of which would suit me fine, other than the fact they start at 90mm stem - and im not willing to sacrifice 10mm length for any bar.

Any options very much appreciated. Ive seen a couple like Farsports and Tavelo, but they are all crazy expensive.

Has anyone any experience with Toseek?

These look good, seem to have good reviews, but they are very cheap - cheap enough to make me wonder about the quality. Any experiences?

Ryet bars have been good when I’ve seen them. Good stiffness and finish quality.

Around 120 gbp or euro so a very good price per quality ratio.

Ah, thats interesting. I had sort of discounted Ryet due to a few bad reviews on some versions of their saddles (breakages etc).
I will give them another look.

In China Toseek doesnt have a good reputation, its broken in some cases. Mine now is Bigrock Horizon, but dont buy Gen 1, the mid of the handlebar of Gen 2 is smooth without anti-slip area.
