It's not just a given bar, but also how your bike is setup with that given bar. I have ridden my Bomba near 3 hours and it's great, but it also has everything to do with how the bike frame fits me and how it is setup with that bar. It all starts with your weight distribution in the saddle and how centered you feel even taking your hands off the bars. If this is too far forward or backwards and/or the frame is not long enough, compensating with different bars and stems will also be skewed. That's just my take .
