STRATICS CARBON TT BAR RACE PACKAGE !
If you want more speed, 2 areas are a must: A great position, and great control. And, less weight is always a positive. In a world made up of marginal gains, this Stratics bar saves time in minutes, not seconds!
Every top fitter and all the publications are adamant that getting a great position on the bike is more important than the latest, greatest aero frame or wheels!
The Stratics bars offer an amazing combination of features that deliver great aerodynamics with a second big advantage: Control.
Another huge area is simply riding a good line, saving more minutes!
Everyone has seen athletes on course drifting back and forth a little, even top pros. Over the 56 miles of a 70.3 or full 112 miles, watering around even a little bit can end up riding a lot of extra distance quickly! If you ever watch a track rider, they barely deviate more than a few millimeters off the painted stripe, because they are acutely aware that added distance is added time.
How significant is this? If you barely improve your line ---say you save only 25 feet per mile -or 25/5280=.0047 % , or less than 1% , over an Ironman that distance is pretty big--( 25 x 112 =2800 ft) or over a 1/2 mile- over 3 minutes for a world-class rider-and more for the majority of athletes!
The Stratics TT bars feature specially designed arm supports for added steering control, along with adjustments for your best position. The large wing that rises vertically on the arm support is worth it's weight in gold when it comes your control by giving you the ability to steer with pressure from your hands and forearms. The big platform and high density pads provide lots of comfort, and the expanded hand grip area on the extensions is far more ergonomic so your hands don't get cramps or numbness.
Order a set of the Sampson Stratics bars, and we will also provide you with ergonomically designed TT1 brake levers, a set of stainless steel brake cables, and the Sampson between the arms bottle mount platform, so you set new pr's from day one!
Check out all the advantages of the Stratics bars, and get rocking !
-
Extensions rotate 360 degrees for your best hand position
-
Forward sweep on the base bar provides extra clearance for forward riding positions
-
Base bar features 3:1 aerodynamic shaping, UCI and ITU long-distance legal ( and have been used to win the top ITU long-distance triathlon) Base bar is 42 cm wide c-c.
-
Extensions feature an expanded palm support area to keep your hands more open and relaxed so you don't get tingly fingers
-
Anti-slip textured grip paint is applied to the both the extensions and on the base bar behind the brake levers so you can elect to save a couple of watts on race day, or simply tape over it for comfort ( Fat Wrap is great for this as it leaves no residue on the bars !)
-
Arm rests move fore-aft, side to side, and also rotate. We have found that triathletes have a little more shoulder mass from swimming than cyclists, and the rotation of the arm supports enables angulation, so you can keep your hand position tight in front, and your arms tight with the torso for excellent aerodynamics-and still be able to breathe.
-
50 mm of fore-aft length adjustment ( about 2 inches)
- Brake cables route internally and exit at the back of the base bar for clean routing
- Shift cables can be routed internally or externally, work great with the new AXS groups from Sram and mechanical styles. Di2 requires external wire placement on current models
-
Standard 31.8 mm stem diameter allows you to mix/match stem length and rise to obtain your perfect height/reach
- Light ! Only 775 g ( barsonly)
While there are a lot of aero bars on the market, nothing can come close to this package if you want to hit the top step of the podium! You get huge advantages in speed, comfort and all at an amazing price!
