Setup, Compatibility & Care

These aerobars are designed for use with 31.8mm diameter handlebars. Before installation, ensure your base bar is clean and free of debris to prevent slipping.

  1. Installation: Attach the clamps to the 31.8mm section of your handlebar and tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.
  2. Adjustment: Use the integrated adjustment slots to set your reach and pad width. Always double-check that bolts are tightened after making final adjustments.
  3. Care: Wipe the bars with a soft, damp cloth after training sessions, especially if you have been riding in humid or sweaty conditions. Periodically check all hardware to ensure bolts remain secure and free from corrosion.
