🚴 FSA Omega Compact Road Handlebar: Optimal Comfort and Control for Road Cycling Review

Quality and comfort are very important when cycling. These bars are great. They create a smooth transition to the brake tower. FSA makes good bike parts.

If you have the following pains, try these. Slightly more vertical in the falling position. I also have much better access to the brake lever in the lowered position.

Just tried it out at the weekend. They are just as others have described. I chose a size 42 which is smaller than the standard size 44 that was on my Colnago. The slightly smaller size fits my shoulders snugly and the bike now feels more agile. Wrapped up in red and white Lizard Skins camo and they look amazing!

I like it very much! I love them so much I bought a set for my road bike and a set for a friend's road bike. We're not big, so it's difficult to find a pair of good, solid bars that aren't too wide, nice and compact. We rarely use drops, so I don't need big ones. The range is perfect and the width just right. I'm about 5ft 8", my girlfriend is about 5ft 4". It works great for both of us when paired with the right stem!

I was surprised at how much this handlebar helped me with my aerodynamic position. I'm a tall rider, 6ft, 190lbs. I wear a coat size 4 and have fairly broad shoulders, so I've always struggled to get a secure aero fit. This plank allows me to lower my elbows more and flex my shoulders more easily. Who doesn't love to cheat the wind? The traditional bar size for me would be 440mm wide and this bar has gone down to 400mm. I'm surprised how much I like the compact design and the stroke is quite…

I have used several different rods on my Cross Check (Ritchey Logic II and Curve, Salsa Woodchipper II) and they are perfect for me. I'm a casual rider (commuting and adventure), with large hands (glove size L or XL) and broad shoulders (at 44cm). I often ride the hood and top for everyday riding and commuting, but like the drop and hooks for more aggressive riding. This is the first bar I've found equally comfortable in these 4 hand positions and as a result I spend more time in drops. At…

Slightly more comfortable than stock Cannondale wheel. The range of the drops is slightly better, and for me the small hands made riding the drops a little easier. Width is measured in drops so I have to get used to riding with a little less width on the hoods, which I think my body will eventually get used to. I also didn't realize that it has a glossy finish where the logos are, but I can get used to it and it looks like this detail isn't mentioned in the product description. It would be nice

This is the second set of these bars I've ordered. They have a short reach and drop with a smooth curve somewhere between an "ergonomic" shape (whatever that is) and a classic fixed radius turn descent. I find them more comfortable as I get older and they place the brakes/shifters where the levers are easier to reach, especially with Campagnolo levers (which have no shims available). My height is 5 feet 7 inches. One thing to keep in mind when sizing these rods is that they are measured center…
