"I am happy with these aerobars. If you are super-serious, you might want something lighter and more technological, but I think these would be a great choice for the average recreational triathlete."cpfint

(3)

Ease of installation

It's a bit tricky to get all the shims and clamps lined up, but not terrible. You definitely need a helper.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Solid materials, nice finish.

(5)

Comfort

These are my first aerobars and I have really enjoyed them. They really do make me faster, and I find them comfortable on long rides. The flip-up armrests are the best feature, allowing the rider to use more of the handlebars.

(4)

Adjustability

Since the aerobars are a loop, you cannot change the width, but you can adjust the length and armpads.

(4)

Durability

The aerobars have held up well over the past several months, except for the velcro around the pads. The velcro is stronger than the adhesive bond to the plastic armrest, so if you want to change the pads, you will probably be ripping up the other half of the velcro with them, unless you are very careful.

(5)

Value

These are not the fanciest aerobars out there, but they are great for a triathlon enthusiast who wants to use the aero position without spending tons of money.

Strengths

Flip-up armrests, good materials, great value.

Weakness

Velcro adhesive, lack of adjustability, weight, if you care about that sort of thing.
