Your cart is empty.We can identify two primary problems with installing clip-on bars on our road bikes. First, when fitting them on standard road drop bars fora triathlon or time trial, we usually have to install a straight seatpost, or slam the saddle forward to compensate for the extensions being further forward.Second, the armrests usually cover the tops of the bar, leading to the dreaded hands-on-the-pad technique on steeper climbs. The Airstryke V2 Aluminum Clip-on aerobars take care of the second issue by including Profile Design's patented Flip-Up brackets, which use springs to keep the armrests elevated while you'renot resting on them. This preserves access to your drop bar's top or the entire base bar without sacrificing the benefits of clip-on extensions when it's time to get aero. As for the cockpit adjustments, we recommend investing in a second saddle/seatpost combo if it isn't a proprietary design and you'll have a quick as an easy dedicated setup for triathlons, time trials, and weekend centuries.

Der Profile Design Airstryke ist ein solider Aero-Lenkeraufsatz mit praktischen Features, aber kleinen Schwächen.Positives:✅ Ergonomisches Design – Die Armauflagen sind bequem, und die Position lässt sich gut anpassen. Ideal für lange Fahrten.✅ Klappbare Armauflagen – Ermöglichen das Greifen des Lenkers im Obergriff, ohne den Aufsatz zu entfernen – praktisch im Stadtverkehr oder bei Anstiegen.✅ Gute Verstellmöglichkeiten – Länge und Breite lassen sich individuell anpassen, sodass der Aufsatz für viele Fahrer geeignet ist.Negatives:❌ Klappmechanismus nicht optimal – Die Mechanik ist etwas zu leichtgängig und könnte besser verarbeitet sein. Die Idee ist Klasse, die Umsetzung könnte verfeinert werden.❌ Relativ teuer – Für den Preis hätte ich eine etwas hochwertigere Verarbeitung erwartet, insbesondere beim Klappmechanismus.Fazit:Der Profile Design Airstryke ist insgesamt ein gut durchdachter Aero-Aufsatz, der für Langstrecken und Triathlon geeignet ist. Der Klappmechanismus könnte jedoch verbessert werden, und der Preis ist recht hoch. Trotzdem eine gute Wahl für alle, die einen flexiblen Aero-Aufsatz suchen.🔹 Empfohlen für: Triathlon, Langstreckenradler, Rennradfahrer🔹 Nicht ideal für: Fahrer mit begrenztem Budget oder diejenigen, die einen perfektionierten Klappmechanismus erwarten

Came without a clip that hold this point in place. Give stars in anticipation that they reply with some instructions on how to get one. Otherwise it works very well. Secure and adjustable.

I bought a pair of these bars less than a decade ago and love them. Decided to put a pair on a new bike because traditional bars with stationary arm rests leave me unable to access my handle bars. The problem I discovered yesterday while ride in the humid heat is the arm rests don't breath or absorb sweat like other aero bars. This left them slippery and making them feel unsteady. I only use them to give my hands a break and duck out of strong winds, but I couldn't stay in aero long because I could feel them getting wet and slippery. At one point after being stopped for while I didn't noticed my forearms had become sweaty so when I went to put my arm in the arm rest it slid leaving me slightly unsteady. They could use some absorbent or wicking covers. The previous model I have do not have this issue. They would be find on cooler days, less humid days, or if you wear long sleeves. I may put some tape on the bars where my hands go as those were also feeling slippery as well. I don't really hold the bars but rest my hands on them so I don't want them slipping off. I do wish they came with some instructions but they are pretty intuitive for set up on your own. The only problem I am having is adjusting the distance of the bar once it is attached. I'm short and need it closer but even after loosening the screws it wasn't budging. Took a star off for the update on the pads that have left them slippery when sweaty. They would have received a five if this change had not been made or they came with custom covers. I might have taken a star off for the difficulty I'm having adjusting the distance, but I know it can be done and hoping it's just user error. I had to have my daughter help hold the bars in place for me and hold my front wheel steady. Perhaps someone with a stand for maintenance and accustomed to these installations would have bene able to do it themselves.

向かい風の強い時や手がつかれた時に使うととても楽。向かい風の時は空気抵抗の大きさを良く感じられる。もちろん見通しの良い通行量の少ない道でしか使えないが…。腕を置くパッドが跳ね上げ式なのでハンドル上のスペースが死なずに済む。

I've been using the profile flip up bars for years and have broken many of the springs, and the hinge body and arms. This one seems to be a more solid design and the spring force is higher so it does not rattle so much in the up position as my old ones do.

Molto belle fatte e fatte bene ... fanno il loro lavoro .Unica pecca a mio avviso , il sistema delle molle e dei perni che permettono l’alzata degli appoggi andrebbe migliorata , con l’andare del tempo le vibrazioni usurano i perni sboccolandoli , causando giochi tra di loro e fastidiosi rumori , che per chi sta in bici per giorni diventano insopportabili.Quindi per quello che costano un paio di boccole per limitare attriti e giochi ci starebbero proprio bene .

I like this aero bar as it allows me to take advantage of my regular handle bar and having an aero bar at optimum aero position as well. Obviously as a clip on you do need to break your aero position shifting gears but other than that it’s amazing. With the spring on the pads I’m still able to use the center of my handle bar for steep climbs.

Very adjustable aerobars, lots of hand positions available. Glad to be able to still use the tops of my handlebars when cruising/climbing. I mainly do 100-200mi ridew with a mix of big mtns and bumpy gravel roads in CO and these bars unfortunately will rattle like crazy when they are in the 'up' position on anything other than smooth pavement. I like the bars themselves but going to have to macgyver a solution to minimize the rattling.
