Vision Metron 5D EVO Handlebar/Stem Unit - Carbon | ACR - black

Metron 5D EVO – Time To Revolutionize Your Ride

A firm grip on the handlebar, becoming one with the bike and crossing the finish line first. To make this dream come true, Vision always works together with professional athletes. Their requirements regarding crucial aspects such as performance, ergonomics and comfort were also incorporated into the development of the ultimate Metron handlebar unit, which nevertheless retains the characteristic features of the 5D series, including the integrated ACR cable routing.

The result is an optimized design that offers greater stiffness, but also features improved vibration damping without compromising ride feel. But that's not all. In the EVO version, the integrated Metron 5D handlebar has also become lighter and more aerodynamic. With the help of CFD analyses and wind tunnel studies, all shapes have been refined. To ensure a more efficient and reduced airflow in the steering area, for example, the stack has been lowered by 15 mm compared to the previous versions.

However, the focus was not only on the "wing shape design" and the performance at racing level. In order to appeal to athletes of all levels, special attention was also paid to ergonomic features. One corresponding innovation is the introduction of an additional grip depth option, which means that the Metron 5D EVO handlebar/stem unit is now available in both L and XL models. For passionate road cyclists, this means greater variability. The familiar 10-degree pre-bend in the middle wing area has been retained, which enables better breathing, especially on hard climbs.

ACR (Aerodynamic Cable Routing) | The innovative, patent-pending system hides all cables, cable housings, hoses and wires. As a fully integrated cable routing solution, it meets aerodynamic requirements at the same time. The concept also includes an in-house developed headset and compression plug, which ensure that the cables can be routed without a pre-formed steering column or a pre-drilled frame. Split headset spacers also make it possible to adjust the mounting height (stack height) without having to remove any cables. All these components were developed using CFD technology and have no negative impact on the cockpit or system weight.

Scope of supply:

handlebar/stem unit incl. star nut (carbon), spacer kit (1x 5 mm / 2x 10 mm), mounting material (compressor + shim), GoPro mount and Control Center mount for Garmin bike computers
