Profile Design has unveiled the Supersonic Aerobar, a set of clip-on extensions designed to enhance aerodynamics on the Zwift Ride smart bike. Crafted from forged alloy, these extensions weigh 222 grams and offer a 42mm stack height with a 37mm adjustable width, allowing riders to fine-tune their position for optimal performance.
The Supersonic Aerobar integrates seamlessly with the Zwift Ride system, featuring mounting points for the Zwift Click controller. This design enables riders to adjust their Zwift Cog directly from the extensions, eliminating the need to shift arm positions to access the levers built into the Zwift Ride frame. (cyclingnews.com)
Additionally, the aerobars include an integrated Zwift Tray, replacing the standard phone tray on the Zwift Ride. This modification provides the necessary space to attach the extensions securely to the handlebars. The ski-bend design, coupled with anti-slip grips, ensures stability and comfort during intense indoor cycling sessions. Profile Design emphasizes the adjustability of the Supersonic Aerobar, allowing riders to fine-tune their riding position and the placement of the Ergo+ armrest pads to suit individual preferences.
Priced at £220 / $275 / €245, the Supersonic Aerobar is available for pre-order. While the Zwift Ride smart bike itself is priced at £749 / $800 / €800, the addition of the Supersonic Aerobar represents a significant investment aimed at achieving marginal aerodynamic gains during stationary cycling. It’s worth noting that some competitors, such as the Wattbike Atom 2, come equipped with built-in bar extensions, offering a more integrated solution for riders seeking enhanced aerodynamics.
