Once you get over the sticker shock your going to be glad you chose these. Besides anything that says bontrager smells of "Lance" and that should make you at least "feel" fast. Seriously though, these bars are tip top of the line and I liked them over the Heds. Good amount of adjustabiltiy, sweet design and good comfort on long 100+ mile rides. Armrest pads are comfortable and dependable (they stay on!). Depends on what your looking for. If you want a high end aerobar that 500 other people in the race will have, this isn't for you. If your willing to pay top dollar for performance, function, light weight and style that maybe 10 other people will have, this is it.

This Bontrager Race XXX Lite Carbon Aerobar was used by Lance on his TTX bike in the Tour in '05. It is very aero and very well crafted. They come with a standard STRAIGHT aerobar, but if you ask your dealer he can probably help you get the S shaped aerobar that have to be ordered seperately!!! That might sound like a hassle, but they work fantastic and look great. The aerobar position is fixed, but the armpads are movable in a lot of varieties, widht and to the front/back. The foam padding on the pads is real thick and comfortable.
