Soma Portola - https://www.somafab.com/archives/product/portola-bar 56cm wide at the flared ends but 45.5cm on the hoods Meets your 26mm diameter requirement.
That’s where I landed when I was looking for a similar change (wider, more flared noodle, less drop, less reach). They’ve been great. Though like another poster, I just swapped them for Albatross bars (though upside down and with bar ends mounted in the middle so I get a hood like position). I’ve tried RM-013 and noodles, the the Portola was the best so far. I’m also curious about the 600mm Towel Rack but haven’t tried it. Description from soma: This bar is similar to our June Bug dirt drop bar, except it uses a 26.0mm center and comes in a narrower width. Nice option to try for adventure touring, trail riding or commuting. 112mm drop. 65mm reach. Grips have a slight flare. Width at lever mounting area: 41cm (53cm size), 45.5cm (56cm size) approx. - Polished 6061 T6 aluminum - 53 and 56cm widths (measured center to center at bar ends) - 26.0mm center On Friday, December 9, 2022 at 6:36:15 AM UTC-8 bjmi...@gmail.com wrote: > Hey everyone! > I posted earlier about reach in converting to a wider bar and decided to > start a different conversation to get opinions on wide-ish, flared drops. > > I like the Nitto Noodle quite well, but I think I do want a little flare > and I don't want to bend them myself.
