The CADEX Aero Integrated Handlebar is a cutting-edge component engineered for competitive cyclists seeking to enhance their performance through superior aerodynamics, reduced weight, and uncompromised comfort. This one-piece carbon construction seamlessly integrates the handlebar and stem, offering a sleek and efficient cockpit.
Shaped for Speed
The handlebar features a 6.5-degree forward sweep, creating a narrower and more efficient rider profile. Combined with a compact 72mm reach and reduced hood spacing, it positions the rider in a low, aerodynamic stance. The refined aero tops minimize frontal area, reducing drag without sacrificing control, thereby maximizing power output. (cadex-cycling.com)
Power Delivered
Utilizing a one-piece, no-bond carbon construction, the CADEX Aero Integrated Handlebar eliminates joints and excess material found in traditional bonded bars. This design enhances stiffness for direct power transfer and reduces flex, resulting in a lightweight yet robust cockpit. The refined shaping reduces weight by 70g compared to the previous model, with the 400mm x 110mm version weighing just 255 grams. (cadex-cycling.com)
Comfort & Control
The handlebar’s 125mm drop facilitates quick and confident hand transitions for attacking, sprinting, and descending. A race-optimized flare of 4.8 to 7.3 degrees widens the drops, providing added leverage during sprints and enhanced stability on descents without compromising aerodynamic efficiency. The 6.5-degree forward sweep and smoothly contoured ramps align the wrists for a secure, comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during long rides. (cadex-cycling.com)
Integrated Design
An adjustable out-front computer mount is seamlessly integrated into the design, creating a clean cockpit without additional attachments. The CADEX Aero Integrated Handlebar is compatible with standard 1 1/4″, 1 1/8″, and OverDrive Aero steerer tubes. It is available in 14 different length and width combinations, ranging from 420/390 x 110mm to 380/360 x 90mm, and is priced at €699 in the Benelux region. (cadex-cycling.com)
