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.
Why we created Aero Fit Kits
Building on the success of Aerobar One and the evolution of time trial 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, specifically in the manner of mounting and creating a robust method for all desired adjustment options. Our Aerobar Two and Three Fit Kit solutions are a manifestation of this and continue to be a set of components that we continue to develop.
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.
