Strengths: Main draw for me is that this bar clamps onto the stem instead on onto the base bar (in my case the drop bar). I use a road bike for triathlons so needed to mount the clip-on aero bar closer to me to off-set the long top tube on my road bike. Installing this bar on the stem means I am able to position the bar and elbow rests way back, and find a good compromise position just forward of my knees.
I also prefer the "Y" bar than 2 individual bars for clip-ons simple because it makes installation much easier and saves some weight.Weaknesses: Adjustibility - there is only 3 positions for how "wide" (i.e. far apart) the elbow rests are. Compared to aero bars with elbow rests that mount straight onto the base/drop bar, it means less possible positions. Even the "widest" position was narrower than my previous setting, but it was easy enough to adapt to it with no drama.Bottom Line: Did not update the price as I paid Singapore dollars for it, which may not be relevant given how much the USD has fallen lately. Nice simple carbon clip-on aero bars. My purchase included the Profile Design Hammer stem which is needed because this clip-on bar attaches to the stem and needs the special octagonal shape of the Profile Design stem.
Favorite Ride: Long Brick (Long Ride, Short Run)
