What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've used the Aeris R1 for sprint triathlons and time trials, and it's incredibly stable when I'm deep in the aero tuck. The pressure relief channel and thick nose padding make a huge difference over longer efforts, and the carbon rails keep the weight down without sacrificing stiffness."When every second counts, we look to gear that won't hold us back.
