      PERFORMANCE GAINS YOU'LL KNOW FROM YOUR FIRST RIDE

Are you leaving FREE SPEED on the table?  We're talking real gains, not marginal gains with marginal results.  SVELTE  series race bars feature inboard drops to streamline your body position for superior aero.  Our patented models take the shortest path from hoods to ergo drops while leaving your tops unchanged where you spend most of your time.  This is free speed on tap whenever you want, and we do it with no extra material or weight guaranteed!

​​​​

The science is clear.  Eighty percent of your work is fighting air resistance.  Aero efficiency matters.  Low and narrow is faster almost all the time.  Not only do we bring you new faster options, we're safer than competing aero designs.  Never take hands off the bar to brake or shift - tops or drops.

        This shapely hourglass

              profile is faster

Don't be fooled by sales pitches for tiny bar tops that flare out below.  Undersized tops aren't ergonomic, and that costs you.  They're skittish, and that alone can slow you down.  They take more energy to control, and any aero savings are diminished by more air resistance raised up.  If drops flared out were efficient you'd see them on the track, but you don't.  Similarly if narrow high was better racers would raise their stem, not slam them.  Being forced to use your drops to get control back is another disadvantage. 

​​​​

Our bar tops fit you naturally keeping control, good vision and more right on top.  No changes, no discomfort, no sketch, no sacrifices.  Then we bring you new and better modulation options under the hoods in ways you haven't experienced.  Negative flares let you dial your aerodynamic profile in an instant.  Slide your hands up in the hooks for a wide stance, down for pure speed and aero gains or anywhere in between for conditions and comfort.  More options on the bike lead to better performance all around - the reason for drop bars in the first place - yet cost nothing.  Aeromod  features also aide reaction time since brakes and shifters are always at your fingertips, making it fast and keeping it safe.  You can even alternate aero positions high and low to rest your core and stay fresh (and fast) longer.

​New SVELTE models are wicked fast and bring you the best of both worlds in a single elegant design.  Keep your normal hand positions above and enjoy new ones below never before possible in a drop bar.  Subtle design cues make transitions fast, and our ergonomic contours help you stay aero longer.  Saves 160 seconds hoods to drops over 40k* compared to just 60-70 with straight drop bars.  FREE SPEED!
