Profile Tribars

Finally there is a range of tribars and extensions under the Profile T2 and T2 plus names.

Firstly you can buy the Profile T2 wing aero base bar which has a clamping section designed to accept any profile clip on tribar and constructed from double butted aluminium, with pre-drilling for internal cables.

In the range of clip on T2 tribars there is a draft legal flat position bar with S-bend extensions of aluminium, suiting aggressive positions for both time trials and triathlons. These will fit both 26 mm and 31.8 mm oversize bars and the air extensions will adjust in rotation wit and length, with J shaped brackets allowing a low position. This is also available as the T2 + alloy aero road bar if you do not need the ITU approval.

Finally there is the T2 + Cobra carbon tribar which is a lightweight bar at 492 g with multi directional extensions of carbon fibre and forged aluminium brackets which are J shaped to allow a lower arm position while riding. There is rotation, width and length adjustment available and the armrests are all so able to rotate. The T2 + Cobra tribar fits both 26 mm and 31.8 mm handlebars and is in gloss black carbon.
