Profile Design DRV/AEROa Drop Handlebar

Yes, the DRV/AEROa is fully compatible with clip-on aero bars, making it a versatile choice if you want to switch between road riding and triathlon or time trial setups.

The flat top profile is designed for aerodynamics, but it also provides a wider, more stable surface for your hands. You can wrap it just like a standard round bar, though you may want to use slightly longer bar tape to ensure full coverage across the wider top section.

While aluminum is heavier than carbon, this handlebar offers excellent stiffness and durability at a more accessible price point. It is an ideal choice for riders who prioritize reliability and a solid feel over the weight savings of carbon.

This model features external cable routing. This design simplifies installation and maintenance, allowing you to easily swap components or adjust your cockpit without having to re-thread cables through the bar.

The 4-degree flare provides a slightly wider stance in the drops, which improves stability and control during descents or when riding on gravel. It offers a subtle ergonomic advantage without being as aggressive as the wider flares found on dedicated gravel bars.

This handlebar uses a standard 31.8 mm clamp diameter, which is the industry standard for modern road and gravel bikes. It should integrate seamlessly with almost any modern stem.
