PRO Vibe Aero Cockpit Keeps you Stealth, but Comfortable
One of the problems with todays aerodynamic, full-stealth one-piece cockpits is that you get what you get in terms of handlebar rotation, and often there are also limited bar width and stem length options, too. The new PRO Vibe Aero bar and stem aim to fix that by keeping the two components separate, as long as you like narrow handlebarsThe PRO Vibe Aero Handlebar has a flat top section with a slight forward sweep leading to a raised section where the drops meet it. They have an anti-slip coating on the tops, so you can shorten the bar tape and keep them as slim as possible to cheat the wind.The shifter/brake lever clamping area is angled inward slightly to help you get into a narrower, more aero position when riding on the hoods. The three width options measure just 37mm, 39mm, and 41mm wide here. Weights from 240g.Thankfully, the drops flare out 10, adding width and wrist clearance when youre riding low. Reach and drop are size specific:37mm 126mm drop / 77mm reach39mm 128mm drop / 79mm reach41mm 129mm drop / 81mm reachIt has internal routing for electronic wires and brake hoses, with ports to feed them directly into the new Vibe Aero Stem, which comes in 80-130mm lengths and has -17 rise. From there, you can route it through compatible headsets and frames for a full stealth look.The handlebar has removable fairings next to the stem, letting you add clip-on aero bars or 3rd party computer mounts.PRO Stealth Superlight saddleTheir lightest road saddle gets a new one-piece carbon shell-and-rails base, plus a few tweaks to the center cut out design, to bring the weight down to just 130g. Thats 15g less than the prior model, without giving up comfort while youre in your aero riding position.It keeps their Stealth design, with a large center channel and wide nose, and tops it with a lightweight-yet-dense EVA foam and PU cover to protect it. Available in 142mm and 152mm widths.PRO-bikegear.comThe post PRO Vibe Aero Cockpit Keeps you Stealth, but Comfortable appeared first on Bikerumor.
