They are significantly comfier than other bars
Any comments of comparison to the Spank 35 Vibrocores also reviewed by this site?

I've only ridden 31.8 Vibrocore bars IIRC and yep, very similar niceness. I never could quite get on with the shape/sweeps of Spank bars though, so that was the overriding aspect for me! These Thomson also remind me of 31.8 Renthal alloy bars. All good feeling bars. Pick whichever diameter/sweeps/colour suits you 👍

Thanks very much, really appreciate being able to ask things here and get a reply.
Interesting about the sweep. I've just got the Vibro 35s (8deg backsweep), they seem less comfortable than my original RaceFace Aeffect R 35 (9deg backsweep). I'll have to test them back to back.
