Profile Design Century Aero Bar (Black)

These are a well made set of bars - fit and adjustment is easy. With the narrower mounting you can add them to existing bars with "normal" taping areas. The elbow pads have three width adjustment points. I definitely recommend this model.

These are my first set of aerobars and I was not really sure if I would like riding with them so I did not want to spend a lot of money on an upper end set of bars. The install was easy on my 26mm straight bars, even though the spacers are plastic, they grip the handle bars well and do not allow the aerobars to turn. Also, they put these little nipples on the plastic inserts so that they are held in place in the clamps nicely, one tip though, put a little adhesive on them to hold in place while installing. A lot of the overall comfort will have to do with seat height relative to the bars, but as far as the bars themselves go, the distance from the rest pads to the grips was comfortable, plus there are three locations laterally to place the pads, so you can have your elbows tucked in tight or spread out a little bit. The angle of the grips is really good too, you don't have to turn your wrist into an uncomfortable position. Overall they seem to be a really good product.Edit: saw where somebody mentioned having trouble installing the bars because the plastic inserts kept falling out. If you have this problem, buy a small tube of silicone gasket sealer, wipe a little onto the outer part of the insert, let it dry until its tacky and then press into the clamps, they should hold well enough to install.

This bar is well made, easy to install, and is a good deal for the money. I used profile 50mm risers to adjust the height for me, and mounted them with sections of old rubber hose on the handle bars to prevent slipping or rotating. Worked perfectly!

One of the critical measurements of aerobars is the distance from the center of the nose to the center of the handlebars. These are 280mm which is very short. Compare them to my old Scott bars which are 330mm. I'm 6' tall and when I get down on these aerobars I feel cramped and it's uncomfortable. I like to roll my hips forward when I go aero and I can't with these. The design also consumes the entire flat section of my handlebars which means I can't mount lights or a computer there. I mounted my computer on the nose of the aerobar and bought a Topeak bar extender to hold the lights. If you're about 5'6" and don't plan on using lights these may work for you, but they were a waste of money for me.Build quality seems adequate - better than those $30 aerobars you can buy. The only thing you can adjust is the distance between the elbow cups - there are three different widths, and the rotation of the cups. At this price I expected more. Note there is a 50mm gap between the bars. If you want to add a transverse computer mount you cannot use the 60mm length.

I've never rode in the aero position so I was a little hesitant about getting Aero bars for my road bike. I figured I could get used to riding with these and if I liked it I could always upgrade to a tri bike, which comes with aerobars. These fit on my Trek Emonda SLR9 handlebars perfectly. They don't move which is nice. I just put some electrical tape underneath to protect my handlebars and allow me to tighten them fully. I tried other aerobars that would not tighten properly and would spin, which can be dangerous while riding. These hold firm and seem safe.They are very comfortable when riding in them and I like how you can adjust your hands any which way you like. The arm/elbow pads can be moved in or outward. In this picture I have them in the middle, which for me seems as close as I can get and still be comfortable and safe (I have wide shoulders)I took these out for a spin one morning, first time outside with aerobars, and I was able to hold a really nice pace, probably 2 mph over what I normally do, so I did notice the benefit of using aerobars for sure!My only complaint is that the hand area has no bar tape and gets slippery when you sweat, which is always since you are cycling and most likely working up a sweat haha. I recommend getting some bar tape to wrap around the hand grip area. Aside from that I really like using them and feel sturdy when riding since I have little confidence riding in the aero position right now. Hoping to improve and get more comfortable in time, but these are definitely a great starting point if you've never ridden in that position. Hope that helps someone out there who is looking!

I love it. mounts easily and firmly to 31.8 mm bars that have limited space between the gooseneck and bar tape. arm pads are firm and high quality. very light yet very sturdy.

If you are a biker who spends more than an hour in the "saddle," you're gonna want this feature. The elbow pads can be installed in one of three positions to tailor to your comfort. The curved handle bars facilitate a variety of positions and help you to avoid circulation issues. the attachment design is sturdy and easy to install. I did have to modify my handlebar tape in order to accommodate the clamps.

I read all the reviews and these Tri-bars are not what I expected. They are very short, there is no ability to move the pads forward or up only laterally. Did I say short! They are also a pain to put on smaller older handlebars. you have to get a plastic nipple in a hole and the nipple is too short to stay in the hole while you screw it in. The quality of the bar was good just so short that my knees hit my elbows while ridding on it. The danger factor alone made me return the bars
