No need to be long, or low, with such setup. I'd rather just have MTB bars for that.
Of course everyone will be raving on how incredibly useful are 600mm wide drops, flared bars and whatnot but nah

It’s not for aero. It’s for multiple hand positions. Think of it more as a gravel bike for mountain bike tyres rather than a mountain bike with road bars.
And the gearing is because Prolly built it to ride a route with 6000ft elevation in 55 miles with 18% inclines

Why? Frame designed for 100mm travel sus forks, MTB gearing, dropper, and 29er wheels and tyres. I'm not saying it's bad, or not ideal, or it shouldn't exist, but I see a MTB with drops.
