As long as you don't mind a 31.8mm clamp area and a black finish, both Specialized's Shallow Bend handlebar and Zipp's 70 Ergo bars have a darn short reach and are super comfortable. (Specialized has a round top; Zipp has a slightly flatter top...) The Zipps have a 70mm reach; Specialized's is either the same, or 75mm...
I'm linking to the base-price versions... https://www.specialized.com/us/en/expert-alloy-shallow-bend-handlebars/p/155634?color=230897-155634 https://www.sram.com/en/zipp/models/hb-dbsc-7e-b2 If you're looking for a silver finish and a 26.0 clamp area, the only thing I've found to be nice is the Soma Hwy One... Would love to hear of others!
