If you often experience fatigue or discomfort in your wrists or forearms during long time trials, these extensions are the perfect choice for upgrading your aerodynamic bike setup.

    Using Profile Design 43 ASC Aero Bars - Extensions 400 mm

    Profile Design 43 ASC Aero Bars - Extensions 400 mm are specifically designed for use on triathlon and TT bikes. They are ideal for both flat, fast routes and hilly time trials where you need to stay stable in the aerobars for hours. Thanks to integration with both mechanical and electronic shifters, you can effortlessly change gears without breaking your aerodynamic position. The integrated channels for internal cable routing also ensure that your cockpit remains completely streamlined and free of loose cables during your ride.

    Why choose Profile Design 43 ASC Aero Bars?

    The unique feature of Profile Design 43 ASC Aero Bars is the unrivaled balance between extreme aerodynamics and pronounced ergonomics. Traditional straight extensions often force the wrist into an unnatural angle, creating tension. With a well-thought-out 43-degree angle and an ergonomic rise of 87 mm, these carbon extensions follow the natural anatomy of your arms. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) computer analyses have shaped the surface so that the airflow glides smoothly over your forearms, reducing drag and saving valuable watts. By choosing Profile Design 43 ASC Aero Bars, you get a durable, feather-light product that keeps you fresher for longer.

    What is the benefit of the 43 ASC design on these aero bars?

    ASC stands for Aero Shaped Carbon, and this design is the foundation for the performance of the extensions. It is specifically developed to optimize the rider's aerodynamics by creating a shape that follows the natural contours of the forearm. By applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Profile Design has managed to create a surface that minimizes turbulence and ensures a smoother airflow around the cockpit area. One of the most significant advantages of the 43 ASC model is the 43-degree angle of the grip. This angle is carefully calculated to provide a neutral and natural position for the wrist, which is crucial for reducing tension and fatigue during long cycling races such as triathlons or time trials. With a length of 400 mm and a rise of 83 mm, these extensions allow the rider to achieve a position that is both fast and stable. The increased contact surface between the forearm and the bar also means better control over the bike, as weight is distributed more evenly. This results in a significantly improved riding experience, where you can focus on pushing watts rather than struggling with an uncomfortable position. In addition to the aerodynamic benefits, the ergonomic design also helps stabilize the rider in high winds, as the hands rest more naturally on the grips.

    What materials is the Profile Design 43 ASC made of?

    Profile Design 43 ASC Aero Bars are constructed from advanced carbon fiber, which is the preferred material for serious athletes due to its unique balance between strength and weight. By using carbon, the weight has been kept down to approximately 230 to 240 grams for a set, making them a lightweight solution that does not weigh the bike down unnecessarily. In addition to the low weight, carbon is known for its extreme stiffness, ensuring that no energy is lost when you apply pressure to the handlebars during acceleration or riding in tough terrain. An often-overlooked advantage of carbon material is its ability to absorb micro-vibrations from the road surface. This means that the rider experiences fewer shocks in the hands and arms, which directly contributes to delaying fatigue and maintaining freshness in the upper body throughout the bike section. The aerodynamic shape that carbon enables also helps to reduce the total frontal area. Durability is top-notch, as the material is resistant to the constant stresses that cycling components are subjected to, making these extensions a reliable partner for many seasons to come. The material is also resistant to corrosion from sweat and salt, which is an important factor for triathletes who train in all weather conditions and often expose their equipment to moist environments.

    Do these extensions fit my tri or TT bike?

    These extensions are created with maximum versatility in mind and use a standard clamping diameter of 22.2 mm. This makes them compatible with the vast majority of modern base bars and aerobar mounts on both triathlon and time trial bikes. Whether you ride a dedicated TT frame or have mounted aerobar brackets on a road bike, these 400 mm extensions can typically be integrated without issues. They are designed to work seamlessly with both mechanical shifters and modern electronic systems like Shimano Di2 or SRAM eTap, giving the rider the freedom to choose their preferred setup. A significant detail is the option for internal cable routing, which ensures a clean and minimalist look while also improving aerodynamics by hiding the cables from the wind. Additionally, the extensions fit perfectly with Profile Design's popular Race+ and Ergo+ armrests, allowing the cockpit to be tailored down to the smallest detail. The substantial 400 mm length also provides plenty of adjustment range within the mounting brackets, so the reach can be fine-tuned precisely to the rider's build and preferred aero position. This means that both tall and shorter riders can find a setup that provides the optimal balance of comfort and speed, making it a versatile upgrade for any ambitious setup.
