The Triathlon race scene has gone Mono Tribar crazy recently with companies popping up every week it seems and it’s clear that three sub categories have emerged, the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY. Our Slipstream model sits comfortably in the GOOD category but what features make it so good? Let’s run through some of them.
AERODYNAMICS - Developed in the Wind Tunnel, smooth uninterrupted flow directing contours that effectively manage airflow around the rider at any yaw angle. It’s not just a case of filling the gap.
STIFFNESS - 100% carbon fibre, handmade with customised tapered wall detailing means no bouncing hands sapping your watts away with poor power transferal (you have no doubt seen this). Delivers pinpoint control for the most technically demanding courses.
CLEAN MOUNTING - Where many aero systems fail. We have a ‘No Junk’ policy when it comes to mounting. If we can’t fit directly to your towers or with an appropriate aero wedge we won’t make it. A badly fitted aero bar can easily be worse than your stock setup. KEEP IT CLEAN!
COMFORT - Ask anyone using our bar and you’ll likely to get the same answer - The most comfortable Tribar they’ve used. Secure hugging contours with full padding and a natural relaxed grip angle, reducing tension in the shoulders and wrists making 180k a breeze while maintaining your most aero position. A comfortable race is a fast race.
And that’s it.
But what about the watt savings? Many brands seem to be quoting in the region of 30watts, which I find strange and I’m not saying that. So many things will influence the degree of saving available from an aero Tribar upgrade so we couldn’t quote a figure without personal testing. Buyer beware.
