"I recently purchased a different set of bars and I'm really excited to put these on and get rid of the T2+. They look cool but I would never recommended them to anyone and always point people towards more comfortable bars. "ipull400watts
Ease of use
Just jump on the bike and ride, they took very little getting used to.
Quality of Construction
As with all Profile Design items, quality is very high. The pads can sometimes be a quality issue with different brands, but these are very well done.
Fit
This goes with adjustability, but fit is very good.
Comfort
This is why I'm doing this review. The shape of the T2+ aero bars is simply the wrong position for your wrists to be in. I've talked to other athletes with the same bars and the same problems have been noted. I cannot keep my hands on the bars for any extended period of time and always find myself letting go of the bars and resting my hands on top to relieve the pain in my wrists. Other triathletes have done the same.
Adjustability
Super adjustable, every which way.
Durability
I've only had them for a year so can't say.
Value
Being Profile Design, they keep their value well.
Appearance
The shape looks too best in my opinion, but that same shape is killer on wrists.
Performance
Another low rating do to the wrist pain and being forced to let go of the bars.
Strengths
The look great, and the shape allows you to grip and hold yourself down while you hammer it better then some other aero bars. The quality is high and they are very adjustable as well.
Weakness
This type of aero bar bend is horrible for your wrist and super uncomfortable for longer rides.

Ease of installation
Super easy to use. They go on just like the vast majority of aero bars. The pads easily adjusted as well.
