Aerobar Two
Aerobar Two is an ecosystem of components for athletes looking to advance their time trial position. With more setup options and supplementary components, Aerobar Two offers you solutions for enhanced comfort and greater performance, beyond what Aerobar One can offer. Looking for a customised solution? Explore Aerobar Three which is our High-performance, semi-customisable 3D printed Aerobar
Why we created Aerobar Three
Position optimisation is the name of the game and we have seen the whole gamut of “integrated” extensions that fall short of delivering optimised geometry for the riders position.
Through our position optimisation work (Adaptive HP) and our Titanium extension development project, we were able to arrive at both optimised geometry and manufacturing processes, to deliver a superior outcome.
Why we created Aerobar Two
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.
Aerobar Two in Application
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.
Improved Aerodynamic Performance
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.
