In the 90s I had these funky Scott mountain aero bars that had the typical mountain straight section, a good bar end like extension, then they looped back around to meet in the center for the front part of the aero bars. Forearm cups and all. Don’t remember what they were called, but I wonder if they’ll come back into style.

Butterfly bars? I think most folks can't get past the aesthetics.

    Those are not butterfly bars, but I remember seeing people with them years ago.

      No, they're not, but they're what I had, and they were quite nice.

  I just went to butterfly (trekking) bars, replacing my drops on a touring bike. Arthritis on my neck hit me bad, and that change allowed me to ride again. I tried a lot of different bar types after getting arthritis, those are by far the best. But, going fast on a downhill and quick cornering, takes a bit of practice.
