Searching for a non-carbon long reach bar at or around the Deda Newton mark of about 100mm. Does anyone know the reach of various PRO (i.e. the Shimano-owned subsidiary PRO) bars?

my compact classic bend is 75mm so this is dependent on the model.

Best estimate on my Pro PLT traditional bends is 110mm c-c.

Thanks.

Bonty "race" bars have a reach of 98mm for 2008. All of their other models have a reach of either 75 or 82mm.

Why don't you simply use the Deda bars with the reach number you are trying to replicate?

If he is like me it is because the Pro price is about 1/3 the Deda price.

Other issue is weight/stiffness: my PRO was disappointingly heavy at 275 for a OS compact shallow 44cm. However it's loads stiffer than a Deda 215.

True, the Deda cost is a bit higher (especially for the Supernatural, Electa, and other models; and again these have different reach lengths). The reason for my query? I've switched from Campy to DA and the Shimano levers are not quite as 'perfect' on the Newton bar (95mm, not 100 as I stated in my OP).
