Wind is the ultimate cruelty, and nowhere is it more keenly met than at the leading edge of your bike. The Rapide handlebars are designed to save an easy 20 seconds over 40 kilometers through aerodynamic efficiency without compromising comfort. Leveraging countless hours of wind tunnel testing, the Rapide bar cuts through the wind with knife-edge efficiency while providing comfort during hard efforts. The airfoil is offset forward to offer greater forearm and knee clearance, and a textured surface on the tops ensures secure and comfortable grip even when wet. A recessed step sets the bar wrap flush with the tops for a seamless appearance. At 225 grams, the Rapide is the lightest aero bar in its class, achieved through an optimized blend of high modulus carbon fiber materials. Aerodynamic performance without compromise-this is the leading edge.
