Aero Two was engineered from the ground up to produce the most effective time trial position, compliant with UCI regulations, while offering comfort over full distance IRONMAN triathlon.
Aero Two Extension Clamps are the evolution of Aerobar One and our philosophy of angulation.
The one-piece 15 degree clamp provides class-leading fixation, adjustability and integration for achieving the perfect high-hands position.
Aero Two extension clamps facilitate time trial positions that require a more forward arm cup position.
The combination of our Aero Two clamps arm Aero Base cups provide a total of 45mm of adjustment (fore-aft and lateral).
Most Dual Stack Fit Kits are provided with 60mm of stack spacers, offering adjustment in 10mm increments.
Additional spacers and bolts can be provided for higher stack heights, angle adjustment and offset adjustment.
Aero Two systems are provided with bike-specific basebar adapters, delivering a consistent interface above the handlebar.
Our basebar adapters provide a 125mm extension clamp spacing (centre-centre) for all compatible handlebars.
Centre Stack Fit Kits build off the original spacer components and utilise these components for stack height adjustment.
Additional top plate options and spacers can be provided for angle adjustment and offset adjustment.
Ergonomically designed to provide security from forearm movement, without sacrificing comfort.
With a 9mm thick EVA pad Aero Base cups provide you with the combination of comfort and stability.
Building on the success of Aerobar One and the evolution of triathlon positioning, we saw the potential in providing an ecosystem that catered for a greater length, inclination angle and cup stack adjustment.
Overcoming these challenges required a system-wide approach with a completely new design of the extension clamp, mounting accessories (Fit Kits), and optimisation of the extension geometry to achieve the most relaxed fit. With dedicated 15-degree angulation, and spacer options for 18, 20, 22 and 25 degrees, Aerobar Two allows you to explore and utilise the most effective forearm inclination angle for your positional requirements.
Our Aero Two extensions are the industry standard 22.2mm diameter, are compatible with modern electronic shifters and can be readily trimmed for the correct length and height.
The Aerobar Two complements a range of TT and Triathlon bikes, via the Aerobar Fit Kits. Designed to deliver consistent positional outcomes and enhance the position optimisation process, the Aerobar Two system helps deliver the most aerodynamically efficient TT position
Why is this so important? More than 70% of the aerodynamic drag experienced when riding a TT bike comes from airflow over the body of the athlete. Optimisation of your TT position yields the greatest performance gains.
The high-hands time trial position has long been used by athletes seeking greater comfort, but field aero testing (Alphamantis Technologies) shows that a properly supported high-hands position also tests faster as well.
Our test data shows a 3.5% lower average CdA (Variable 1 vs Variable 2 below). This is an equivalent power gain of 14 Watts, worth over 30 seconds for a 40 km time trial completed at 375 Watts. For a full distance IRONMAN completed at 290 Watts, this is an equivalent power gain of 10 Watts, worth over 100 seconds.
A properly supported high-hands position allows the athlete to better execute aero techniques and improves position consistency. The net performance gain from an improved aerodynamic position has a very significant impact on time trial performance, across all disciplines.
