>>1345596The handlebars are admittedly polarizing. Velo Orange Dajia Far. Braking from the hoods is acceptable. Braking from the drops is fucking incredible. One finger (with canti brake!) on all be the very steepest drops. The flat section in the drops allows for a firm grip without any hot spots on the front or back of the palm like you get on some more traditionally rounded drops, and the wide sweep encourages an elbows-out posture that allows more leverage on the bars. Feels like piloting a fuckin' speeder bike, especially in these redwood forests.
