I’d hazard that all the bars focused on ergonomics are 31.8mm because the ride quality is innately better.
Renthal put a lot of effort into getting their 35mm bars to feel As Good as their 31.8mm option strictly for cosmetic reasons and that hardly seems worth the effort vs just sticking with 31.8.
These Range bars have a really nice ride quality (aside from the geometry).
If you don’t mind a bit of weight, Oddity will do you any width/bend/rise you want in any colour and you can either run them 22.2 or shim them to 31.8 or 35mm. I’ve seen some 830mm or so bars with 15-degree backsweep that looked monstrous.
