I think I'd rather have narrow tyres ( within reason ) and a riser bar, than fat tyres with drops off road
I kinda assumed the drop bars with 2.2" + rubber was just for posing - nobody would actually ride that set-up in anger. Right?

Like this bunch of posers?

Put it this way, can you tell the difference between a 2.25" and a 2.6" on your MTB? Because I reckon in terms of pressure, traction, etc. that's a smaller change than going from 47mm (= 1.85") to a 2.2" on a gravel bike
