FSA Vision Metron Aero Carbon Drop Bar

While this bar is optimized for internal electronic shifting systems like Di2, it can accommodate mechanical cables. However, the internal routing channels are specifically designed for the cleaner lines of electronic systems, so mechanical cable installation may require more patience during setup.

The 10-degree forward angle is designed to create a more natural wrist position when you are in the drops. It helps reduce strain during long efforts by aligning your wrists more comfortably, which can improve your endurance on longer rides.

This bar is specifically engineered for road and triathlon applications where aerodynamics and stiffness are the priorities. While it provides some vibration dampening, it lacks the flare and width options typically preferred for gravel-specific handling and control.

The 2-degree outward bend, or backsweep, provides a slightly more ergonomic hand position on the tops. It helps keep your wrists in a neutral alignment, reducing fatigue during sustained efforts on the flats.

The aero profile does limit the clamping area on the tops of the bars. You will need to ensure your computer mount or light bracket is compatible with aero-shaped bars, as standard round-clamp accessories may not fit securely.
