Summary:
My S-Works SL carbon handlebars are short-drop and came with my Specialized Tarmac Pro (2007). 42-cm c/c. Overall have been very please with this bar. Very light weight but stiff - not flex or creak when going hard off saddle on hills or sprints. No damage after a slow speed drop. Only negative is that the clear coat on the clamp area is prone to come off - this happened after about +2,000 miles.

Strengths:
Light weight
Stiff
Strong and responsive

Weaknesses:
Clear coat not as durable @ clamp area
No option for round bend
