I have the Granola bars on my Fargo and while I've ridden it mainly off-road (nothing rowdy), I've been on 2+ hr road rides and found it to be fine. I think it's more about whether the bar is a good fit for you, on your particular bike, and have it dialled in as best as possible, and then the bar is fine road or off-road. I have narrow shoulders and don't find the Granola to be too wide. I position my hands anywhere from all the way back, to rest on the brake levers. I don't like reaching all the way forward on the front of the bar. I tried Albatross bars and couldn't get them to feel comfortable. I still have them though and will experiment some time in the future to see if I can get them dialled.
