Aero Road Handlebars + Clip-On Aero Extensions

Equipment

I have enve aero bars and they make a clip on aero set that I also have and use for TTs. Very nice set up, I highly recommend

Understandable that you feel that way.

I’d guess that maybe, because the aero bars are longer than the drop bar reach, the extra leverage means more torque on the clamp bolts is required

selcof ‘ultra carbon aero road’ bars w/ the selcof tribar extensions

Bontrager makes an aluminum aero bar which will take any clip on bar. Alternatively you can use a Profile Design Lightning Stryke aero bar clipped to a Lava/Hammer stem. Ive used both and both are good.

These have a good design, light weight (185g) and er…high price: https://www.haero-carbon.com/en/shop/handlebars/h155-limited/ Tri alternative version: https://www.haero-carbon.com/en/shop/handlebars/triathlon-handlebar-h380-tr

I was interested in these but it seems like they are no longer available with no replacement model equivalent.

I have same question as OP with additional requirement of a standard round mounting point next to stem, vs a proprietary aerobar option.

Have been using redshift bars and the quick release is too good to give up - not aware of anything else like it as I take them on and off once a week on average.

This is the handlebar I’ve got on my road bike (that I used to use in triathlons with the Redshift seat post and aerobar set). The Bontrager Elite Aero VR-CF in aluminum are under $100.

That little venge areobar looks super cool…anything like that out there for normal bikes? Or can you put that bar on any bike?

I got the confirmation from Specialized support that S-works Shallow carbon handlebar is compatibile with clip-on aero bars (both carbon and alu).

Does anyone know if there area any ways to attach TT bars to a bike with Aeolus RSL VR-C aero handlebars? I know Giant makes (made?) something for the Propel’s aero handlebars and ENVE makes a similar product for their own bars. I wonder if there’s a reason you couldn’t have a machine shop make some similar that could clamp onto these bars.

Did you have any luck finding a clip on aerobar for the Aeolus RSL VR-C bars? I’d like to get the new Emonda with the Force 12x set up, and then add on clip on aerobars and blip shifters for the 2 TT’s I do each year.

No, but I was only asking for a friend. I too poor to ride a bike with integrated handlebars.
