Pro Vibe Alloy Compact Handlebar Black - 42cm

Description

They’ve taken the 31.8mm clamp diameter center section and just continued it on out. The curve is such that there’s an easy, flat transition from the tops to the hoods, and, despite the shallow drop, the curve makes the drops feel roomy. If it gives you confidence, it’s worth the few extra grams—in this case the 38cm center-to-center bar weighs in at 240g. PRO builds the Vibe Alloy Compact Handlebar to be just like the Vibe Carbon, just in a more economical material. This is thanks to PRO continuing the use of an oversized top section all the way from the hooks on one side to the hooks on the other. You’ll see the intake port on the drops below where you run your brakes, this is because they didn’t want to put the port in a high-stress section of the bar. The drops are a compact shape, with 130mm of drop and 80mm of reach. The alloy chosen is AL-7075. This adds to the overall stiffness, as well as giving you more to hold on to. There are exit ports by the stem, both for routing internally through a Di2 stem for a battery, and routing back externally for the rest of the controls. The bars have internal routing for Di2 cables. The diameter transitions to the standard diameter as the forward reach of the drops begin. There are plenty of people who prefer the predictability and reliability of aluminum over carbon. You get the same drop, the same reach, the same oversized top section, just in aluminum. The bend is a fairly traditional rounded shape. The bar is also very stiff.
