9 best aero bars for road bike

Aero bars, also known as aerobars, are handlebar extensions commonly used on road bikes and time trial (TT) bikes to optimize aerodynamics and improve the rider's efficiency and speed. These are especially popular among cyclists seeking to reduce wind resistance and enhance their performance in time trials and triathlons.

Aero bars are typically mounted onto the handlebars of a road bike and allow the rider to assume a more aerodynamic position by extending their arms forward and tucking their body into a streamlined shape. This position helps reduce air resistance, resulting in increased speed and efficiency.

There are various types of aero bars, including clip-on aero bars, which can be added to existing handlebars, and integrated aero bars, which are built directly into the bike's design. Clip-on aero bars are a popular choice as they offer flexibility and can be easily added or removed for races or training sessions.

Aero bars come in different shapes and styles to accommodate various riding preferences and body positions. The most common shapes include S-bend, ski-bend, and straight aero bars. S-bend aero bars have a gentle curve resembling the letter 'S,' while ski-bend aero bars have a more pronounced curve, resembling ski poles. Straight aero bars have a straight extension without a bend.

Cyclists typically use aero bars when riding on flat or rolling terrain where aerodynamics play a significant role in speed. However, it's important to use aero bars with caution, especially in traffic or on challenging terrain, as they can affect handling and control compared to traditional handlebars.

Overall, aero bars are a valuable component for cyclists looking to improve their aerodynamic position and optimize speed and efficiency, especially in time trials, triathlons, and other competitive cycling events.

If it is directly installed on the handlebar, it's easy to scratch the handlebar, and it's hard to install and fix, and it's easy to loosen if it's not installed well.. Easy to install and adjust the angle freely, use the gasket when install on the small handlebar.

User questions & answers

Question: Does the digital alarm clock have a volume control? I don't want it to be too loud
Answer: The wheels have a plastic hub that is 2 3/4 inches wide. The rubber tread of the wheel (the part that actually contacts the ground is 2" wide). I have found them to be stable on all types of terrain, but have not done any significant travel in deep, soft sand.
Question: Is this wake up light bright enough to work as a reading lamp
Answer: It has adjustable support arms that could possibly spread to 8”. Our boards were 6 wide and had room
Question: Is the sunrise simulation alarm clock bright before it goes off
Answer: Adjustable width - 9" to 3.5" Height of arms - 20" Arm padding thickness - 2" Width between wheels - 13.5" Wheel diameter - 9"
Question: Can the light be turned completely off while sleeping
Answer: No! You need big balloon tires for soft sand.
Question: Is it electric - does it plug into an outlet
Answer: Not two big boards but diff long and short
Question: What is the clock's actually size? (Not the package size). Thanks
Answer: The space between the rails is 16 1/2 with the scuff shields installed. I had the same concern about width when I bought mine. I use it on a stand up paddle board. The board tapers down to 16 1/2 inches about 10" from the end. Everything fit fine.
Question: How many batteries and kind needed to function
Answer: yes
Question: Does it have hourly chimes
Answer: I don't believe there is an after market accessory for attaching the carrier to a bicycle. The the strap used for towing the carrier does have a sewn loop that could possibly be attached to a bicycle seat post. Caution, a steep angle of there carrier will result in dragging the "head" or "toe" of the board.
Question: Where is it made
Answer: Probably, it’s the tapered end of the board (front) that fits in the device.
Question: Will the green numbers glow
Answer: Yes, this is the newest version and it comes with the strap handle. This also connects to a bike seat. Pictures to be posted soon.
Question: Will the green numbers glow
Answer: If you are referring to the tail of board being 6 inches wide (left to right) then that works perfectly. The standard fame can handle up to a 15 inch wide board tail.You can also email us at our SUP Wheels web site and send us a picture of your board. 99% of the boards fit the standard unit but if we need to customize a unit for a customer, that is usually done at no charge.

User questions & answers

Question: Is this listing for a set of bars or just one
Answer: first off the pads are sealed in black cloth and they feel like foam instead of gel. they are also put on the metal rest cups by double sided stick on. hardware is made well and tighten up fine for me.
Question: Can you mount bar end shifters on these extensions
Answer: These cushions are made of a uniform semi-solid gel. They can be cut to shape. They are however meant to be used under handlebar tape, so I would not use them "naked."
Question: if mounted on drop bars, is there sufficient space under the bottom of the forearm rest to grip the handle bars
Answer: Yes, you can cover the entire hand position area both on the tops around the the hoods and the drops. Also recommend the comfort gel padded tape, also by Planet Bike. I have nerve compression issues in my palm/wrist and this combo helps a ton.
Question: Are the pads gel or plastic/foam
Answer: It states in the description it’s in inches. They work very well for me. I cannot wear gloves and they help keep my hands from blistering
