                             ​   TOP 10

​

                                               

 

 

10.  RIDE BETTER IN WIND.   Headwinds can ruin your ride, sap your energy and take the fun out of it.  In a race crosswinds can split your group, and you may never catch up. 

​

You ride in 3 dimensional space.  We bring you all new hand and body positions you simply can't get any other way to reduce drag and help you slice through the wind.  This makes you better end of the day.

​

9.  SAFETY ON SCREAMING DESCENTS.  Racers have many ways to get aero, but most take hands from the brakes.  Forearms teetering on top to simulate aerobars is one.  It's fast, but sketchy and hard to maintain for long.  A pothole, squirrel or sudden gust of wind can blow you off course and cause a panic grab when any delay to your brake levers can mean disaster.

​

Our new bars are fast and aero, but keep your controls in reach.  No need to take hands from the bar to brake or shift - tops or drops!  Better braking is safer and breeds confidence cornering, too.

​

8.  GREAT FOR GRAVEL.  Go BIG!  Narrow tops are twitchy, not good in groups, gravel or wind.  Double deckers are heavy and get in the way.  Wide drops are slow, and shallow drops limit your options.  Our bars keep you big on top for control and good vision where you spend most of your time, fit you better and our uber-aero drops bring you free speed on demand.

​

7.  MAKE YOUR CLIMBING BIKE AN AERO MACHINE.  Getting aero relies on the compound effect of equipment and rider.  That new frame looks cool, but today's bike parity puts it farther down on the hierarchy of marginal aero gains.  Body position is #1, and the cockpit is where it's at.

​

At 220g our new bars won't cost you on the uphills, but you'll gain a remarkable advantage in wind, on the flats and downhills competitive with or superior to the best aero frames and wheels out there.  To quote one professional, "It's a no-brainer!"

​​

​​6.  GRIP, STRENGTH AND ROOM FOR YOUR ACCESSORIES.  Our center tube is massively stiff with room for your computer, camera and more while being easy to grip.  Our uniquely sculpted corners are aero and make transitions quick in and out of the drops.  Five hole routing keeps cables out of the way, optionally porting through your stem.

​

5.  RELIEF FROM NAGGING DISCOMFORT.   Riding in the same position makes you susceptible to repetitive use injury.  We support you in ways you've never experienced.  New hand positions in 3D space can bring relief from the same old tired postures that  led to nagging pain and injury over time.

​

4.  CONFIDENCE IN THE DROPS.  Think SKI TUCK with brakes and control.  React quickly to traffic, gusty winds, animals and road hazards.  Real drops let you adjust between min and max width organically by design.  Deal with changing conditions easily and drop your aerodynamic floor to get low and tight, minimize drag and present a compact profile and weight distribution for maximum stability. 
 

Our ergonomics are far ahead of most mass-production bars.  Recent trends in drop bars are inefficient.  Shallow drops put you in compression with little benefit, specialty bars limit your options and flare outs increase drag, slow you down and get in the way. 

​

Our drops are elegant - efficient and ergonomic.  We bring you new positions within the framework of a traditional drop bar.  We even sculpt our tops underneath to match your natural forearm angles in the drops and high in the hooks.

​

3.  BAR TOPS YOU'RE USED TO.  No sacrifices there.  Our tops haven't changed.  That's where you spend 80% of your time, after all.  Our patented models with streamlined corners and sculpted contours fit cush tape without bulk for comfort and aero savings at the same time.

​

2.  YOU RACE OR RIDE LIKE YOU DO.  At the top echelons of sport you need the best gear.  You might overcome a bad gruppo on the Sunday donut ride, but probably not against the best where fractions of a second count.  Our new SVELTE series bring you race worthy options in a strong, light package for control in more situations with serious aero and bio-mechanical advantages ideal for endurance rides, racing or anytime.

​

1.  YOUR BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!   As bikes have evolved they're so similar that drag differences are almost nil.  The cockpit is where it's at today, and we save you the most watts per dollar by far.  Don't be fooled by hype.  We're proven on the road and in the wind tunnel.
 

SVELTE bars help you pierce the wind.  Wind tunnel tests prove they rival extensions for pure speed while making you safer.  Suitable for many applications including road, gravel, and triathlon our new race bars are faster and safer in a sleek, comfortable and lightweight design.

"The aero advantage of narrow bars outweigh anything else.  Wider feels uncomfortable; you seem to be falling forwards and splayed out.”  Chris Newton, Olympic medallist,
