Can you tell that the flares of the Bosco are giving its width of these bars? I thought this was the reason why the Bosco bras felt so wide.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going on a tough ride like the people at Riv, the Bosco is a perfect choice of bars, but I always felt a bit awkward when using the Bosco for riding around in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you look at the Losco, you can see that they are straighter than the Bosco with the same width. By having a straight grip area, you are able to hold the bars with your wrist being straight.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like holding on to a road drop bar if you think about it. I never thought I&#8217;d compare the Losco to a drop bar but that&#8217;s how I felt.<\/p>\n<p>These bars might feel a bit compact but you can get a complete new feeling with these bars!
