I have Choco bars and did not care for them. There is very little sweep, I found that uncomfortable, and they felt like I was steering a tractor. The issue with bars is that what works for one person may not work for another. Personal preference rules here. What I thought would work from an image and description of a bar did not work. Trial and error was necessary for me to find the 'right bar'.
