Alfa Pasca Aero Handlebars for Road Bike Carbon Racing Bicycle Handlebars Drop Bars Lightweight 31.8 UD Glossy/Matte 400/420/440mm

The fit and finish is prefect. My bars are painted a dark gray metallic. They didn’t have any matte nologo left in 44cm. I was expecting a gloss carbon fiber finish but it came as dark grey metallic. You don’t see any carbon anywhere. I don’t mind because it’s really nice. The bars are 280g? Not as light as advertised but it’s still very light compared to my old setup. But it is still false advertising. Coincidentally, the zipp carbon bars, the sl70 has a 240g published weight. But it costs 6x as much. It doesn’t say their bars are made in the US so I have to assume they are offshored. Are you really getting better bars for 6x the cost? You be the judge. I’m a particular person. These bars look the part.The overall shape is nice. It has a nice flat top, not too wide and nothing feels weird compared to my old setup.I have not used this bar yet. But I’m really curious as to the amount of flex it will have. I’ll update this review once I’ve had a chance to put it through its paces.Routing cables was pretty easy but I don’t have the hydro lines. I ran regular bike cables through. Use some bent tipped tweezers or a very small allen wrench to capture the cable at the other end. I can’t imagine running bigger cables through there. YikesI hope that video they posted showing the drop test is real. If it is, these bars will be as good as the big brand names at a fraction of the cost. So far, these are impressive.UPDATE:I’ve put a few miles on these bars and they are the real deal. Even when you sprint (not pro level-just recreational) they don’t noticeably flex and they are very comfortable compared to regular drop bars. The bulges at the corners are a nice place to put your palms, hands. The flat, wing parts feel very thin when you tuck in (not bad or good, just an observation). These are also very strong. I cracked my first pair due to a faulty torque wrench (NOT THE BARS FAULT). The clamp area cracked. Since they were trashed, I decided to crank on them more until the clamp area touched. Then I put my weight on them to see if I could break them. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t ride with them but they shouldn’t snap very easily at least not from clamping too hard.. The photo is the weight of the replacement bars I bought. This is a good buy if you’re looking for lightweight, aero bars.

Looks good and easy to install . Is holding good time will tell if it holds

I was initially very skeptical about these handlebars because they’re so lightweight, but after thoroughly testing them, I can confidently say they’re durable. I’ve ridden around 2,000 miles with these bars, and they haven’t cracked. I’ve hit plenty of potholes and even had a bad crash, and the handlebars held up perfectly. Would recommend for your next bike build!

4 holes you think it would be easy to install Di2 wires. One side was slightly narrower than the other internally and fishing wires even with a specific tool was more work than I expected. The brake calipers wires went in easy again with a tool. Not sure what was happening inside the tube. Could have used an extra 1mm clearance. I will assume with the new 8100 and 9100 wires if you do wire it up it will be easier as the cable ends are smaller.

I don’t know why you’d ever spend $350 on 3T handlebars. I just replaced mine with these, and these are 22g heavier, but so much cheaper. I have nothing bad to say, except I would 100% suggest paying someone to do the cable routing for you. I fought it for 2 hours. All in all, a great buy.

I bought these bars a while back and finally installed them a few days ago. Went on 2 rides and the bars cracked. Total garbage.You get what you pay for.

This thing is amazing, it's beautiful and light weight and the colors are amazing

Nice bars, a little tricky to get cables threaded through. Beats spending 200.00 on my other carbon bars
