Profile Design has upgraded its popular Aeria bars by adding some additional adjustability in the pursuit of better position optimisation. What this means in real terms is redesigned brackets, armrest and extensions. The brackets now offer the option of tilting the entire assembly from 0 degrees to 10 degrees, while also allowing you to further narrow the position of the armrests compared to the previous model.
The armrest now allows for even more positions than the original - in fact Profile Design says that when combined with the risers the Aeria Evo offers variations of reach, stack and pad width. The Aeria Evo weighs in at just over grams. This is pretty competitive for a carbon and aluminium combination but opting for a full carbon aero bar should bring this number comfortably under grams.
PRO's Missile Evo aero bar is certainly top of the line - with a price tag to match. The entire handlebar, that's base bar, extensions and clamp, is a one-piece UD carbon fibre monocoque construction. This means they are aero, stiff and lightweight. In fact the bars weigh under grams, making them of obvious appeal to the weight-obsessed. UCI-approved, the Missile Evo aero bars measure 40cm in width and feature 12 degree j-bend adjustable extensions.
The armrests allow for ample adjustment too and include gel pads for increased comfort. Allowing for fully integrated brake and shifter cable routing as well as full Di2 compatibility, the bars are designed to work with PRO's Missile Evo stem. However, with the cable integration system they should be fairly easy to configure with your current TT or triathlon set-up.
Which means you can enjoy the same aero benefits as the likes of Rigoberto Uran and Neilson Powless. The entire bar can be tilted from 0 to 16 degrees, while the JS bend extensions can move in length from mm to mm. Likewise, the arm rests offer a wide range of fit options while the stack height can be raised from 70mm to mm.
All-in-all, the Metron TFA bars should allow you to dial in your position with great accuracy. The bars weigh in at grams but this includes the integrated stem, making them competitive with other carbon aero bars at this price point. And there are other considerations too. Aero bars should not only put you in an improved aerodynamic position but allow you to stay there for the entirety of your chosen event. Lowering your frontal area is no good if you can only sustain that position for a short period of time before shifting around on the bike.
Some core strength training for cyclists can come in handy, here. A good set of aero bars will offer a good degree of adjustability; one of the keys to optimising your position. Ideally you want to be able to adjust the pads that your elbows rest on both back and forth and in and out. Other considerations you'll need to make when deciding on the best aero bars for triathlons and timetrialling is the choice of extension shape: either s-bend or j-bend. Typically, j-bend extensions are likely to be more comfortable over longer distances while the s-bend shape better reduces wind drag.
You'll also need to decide whether you're going to opt for aluminium or carbon clip-on aero bars. However, your budget may make this decision for you. To dial in the position you can opt for a professional bike fit.
However, armed with your indoor turbo trainer and a mirror or a friend with a camera you can tweak your position effectively. There are CdA sensors on the market, too, but using them to success takes some time and patience. Ultimately, though, the goal here is to become faster so repeated sessions on the road where you can time yourself under the same conditions are invaluable. You can even invest in some number crunching software to provide feedback on whether your new aero bars are having the desired result.
