Very nice handlebars, bars if you are looking for a short reach handlebar with a few quirks.
Fine handlebars, bars. I've already done a few hundred km on them, including a mountain bike trail, and haven't had a second of tingling or numbness in my hands or fingers, which I have with many other handlebars, bars. The short reach of 5.5 cm is especially nice if you can't get close enough with a short stem on your bike. Tilting your brake levers at the top slightly inwards in line with the drops works out perfectly with a fine riding position where your wrists are nice and straight. The alternative positions on the sharp curve on the outside at the top are also very nice, on the 'bump' near the heart a bit less so. The sweep inwards and that deflects downwards is pleasant to ride on but I find the highest point of the bulge closer to the handlebars, bars less so: your posture there is very upright compared to a horizontal handlebars, and that bulge becomes extra thick with thick handlebar tape, (partly thanks to the lack of recess for external cables, with internal cables this is probably less of an issue): as if you have a tennis racket in your hands roughly. But there are plenty of fine alternative positions for your hands to alternate. Riding in the drops is also nice and, at 10 cm, switching is quick and natural and the brakes are also easily accessible at the bottom with my GRX group. A little less drop (8 cm) would have been even nicer for a nice cruising gravel bike (but for riding out of the wind on the road a little less). Overall very satisfied. Great that Deda thinks out-of-the-box and makes affordable handlebars, bars in alu as well, thinking beyond just bending a tube. With carbon this is much easier but with alu it's a different story.

A comfortable upgrade for my bike.
The short reach makes it pleasant to handlebars, bars on technical sections.
