I've been using the RR Coefficient bars for a few years now. They're on both my road and gravel bikes. I don't ever want to go back! The improved positioning/biomechanics makes the price easily worth it. They're easier to wrap w/tape than I thought they'd be. I found the internal cable routing to be a real hassle, so I just externally route. I have SRAM wireless, so I'm only dealing with brake cables (rim brake for the road bike), and it's no problem at all routing on the underside of the bars. These have the best ergonomics of any bar I've ever ridden. They've helped my shoulder and elbow alignment issues. The hoods on these bars end up in exactly the same place as on conventional bars. It's mainly the tops that are different (they slope down AND back), so that's what you're really paying for if you compare to similar-priced conventional bars. It's worth giving up your integrated stem...you'll have a lot more options for positioning and be more ergonomic (which counts for a lot over thousands of miles). And you'll have a lot more stem options for modifying your fit. Integrated stems, IMO, are too limited. As Greg LeMond would say: "Fit is everything." Good luck w/your new RR bars!
Quick Q: I saw that you have the awesome Coefficient RR (Road Race Version) Handlebars. I thought about getting them for my Dream Gravel/ Endurance Racing and Bikepacking Bike Build. I'm just not sure if it's the right thing and if it's worth it if i have to give up my integrated stem.
Ive run them on my last three bikes (gravel and road) personally I haven’t found a better bar. Tons of hand positions extremely comfortable takes a good amount of vibration out of the offroad stuff. The downside is you cant fit a tt bar attachment like you would with a round bar or an aero bar that has more room by the stem. Other then that its amazing 🤙
