3T Ergonova Pro Or Salsa ProRoad Small 2

[tzvia]

The Ergonova Pro is the alloy version of the Ergonova Team (carbon), which I have. If you like a shallow drop, short reach bar, as I do, you will love the shape. There is no 'ergo' bump nonsense in the drops that makes my palms ache. The tops are a little bit 'aero' but not so much so that it is uncomfortable to use; I can get a nice firm grip without that feeling that I am grabbing an airfoil. It is a comfy shape IMO.

I also find that the way they measure width must be center to center of the bottom of the bars. They splay out slightly at the drops so the tops are a little less wide than you would think they should be if looking at it by the numbers. I use size 38 and I don't feel hemmed in on the tops or stretched out in the drops; it all feels good.
Here is what I mean, compare the Salsa and 3T shapes from the front, the Salsa is more squared in overall shape and has those ergo bumps in the drops:

The Specialized bar that came on my Ruby was uncomfortable. It did feel wider than the Ergonova even though they both are 38, but the difference was very small. It also has those ergo bumps so I knew it had to go after about 2 rides. I would say it is similar to the shape of the Salsa.
