I've got a pair with clip on aero bars fitted.
To be honest, I don;t think they're worth it.
They feel stiffer than the FSA Omega Compact that I replaced. Stiffer as in less vertically compliant, so a bit less comfortable.
They're also much wider than advertised. I wanted to try narrower bars, so order 42cm width and they are an identical width at the controls as the 46cm FSA bars.
The flat section is also tricky to get the control cables settled into (Campagnolo), so overall, not really impressed. The "flair" is only very slightly noticeable as well.
I'm more tempted to try something like the Alpkit Spitfire next time around.

Does anyone know what the clamping area on the Pro 12 degree gravel bars? I'm looking for a decent all round bar for my Strael that's a bit wider for off road but can also take clip on aero bars (ideally not jammed up against the stem) for Badlands next year. I like flat tops and will use it a lot on road as well so the choice is a little limited.
