How to Choose the Right Aerobar Solution

When selecting an aerobar, consider your experience level, fit needs, performance goals, and bike compatibility. Here’s a brief look at how each factor impacts your choice:

• Experience Level: Beginners may prioritise ease of setup and comfort, while advanced riders often need more customisation.

• Fit Requirements: Depending on your goals, you may want more options for arm cup height, reach, and angulation.

• Performance Goals: Decide whether you need basic aerodynamic gains or a highly optimised, race-focused position.

• Bike Compatibility: Some aerobars come with specific Fit Kits for different bike models, while others offer broader compatibility.
