Aerodynamic improvements to frames and wheels for Gravel use are no longer a rarity. However, the optimization of specific Gravel cockpits has been a different story. The Discover Aero carbon handlebar from PRO now aims to close this gap and represent a fully-fledged performance upgrade for riders who value aerodynamic efficiency. However, at the same time, the speed-oriented focus should not be at the expense of comfort, control, integration and precise adjustability by any means.
To offer Gravel racers, explorers and adventurers a superior riding behavior, the Discover Aero handlebar features a compact Drop with 12 degrees of Flare, drag-optimized tops with a Downslope for a neutral hand position and a 4 degree pre-bend to promote a more aerodynamic body position. Meanwhile, the carbon construction with strategically placed Dyneema® fibers not only provides excellent compliance, it also helps reduce vibrations, which in turn minimizes fatigue while riding.
Manufacturer recommendations / compatibility:
In order to offer riders the best possible fit, PRO has gone against the trend towards an integrated cockpit and opted for a separate combination of handlebar and stem. Accordingly, the Discover aluminum stem (PRSS06XX), also designed for Gravel use, was developed as the perfect complement to the Discover Aero handlebar and features a tilt angle of +/- 10 degrees. With its openings and cable channels, the carbon handlebar fits also perfectly to the electronic Di2 shifting components from Shimano. In addition, the Gravel handlebar is compatible with the Compact Carbon clip-on aerobar (PRAC0243) from PRO.
