@@TheBassallyear100 according to there instagram, answering a question from a question on the post it states that the one that UAE are using will come in spring so unsure why it has not been released yet!

The weird thing is there is an explicit UCI rule that states all equipment used in UCI cycling races must be available to the general public within 1 year of use in professional races, and that manufacturers have to demonstrate that they are well on their way in production of that equipment (IE showing tooling, molds, marketing, etc). It doesn't seem like it's enforced at all though! Other examples are things like large chain rings that component manufacturers make for pros but never sell to the public. “Equipment shall be of a type that is sold for use by anyone practicing cycling as a sport. Any equipment in development phase and not yet available for sale (prototype) must be subject of an authorization request to the UCI equipment Unit before its use. Authorization will be granted only for equipment which is in the final stage of development and for which commercialization will take place no later than 12 months after the first use in competition. The manufacturer may request a single prolongation of the prototype status if justified by relevant reasons. When assessing a request for use of equipment which is not yet available for sale, the UCI equipment Unit will pay particular attention to safety of the equipment which will be submitted to it for authorization." Article 1.3.006

Enve's name is appropriate, I always feel a little jealous when I see someone kitted out with SES wheels and handlebars. Is it silly for us normal folk to spend the $$ on bikes, yes, but it's fun and still cheaper than other expensive hobbies like vehicles. That being said, the cost of bikes now is wild.

The reason why you can’t buy this type of bar is because that’s where they put the motor #doping

Enve measures their handlebars on the drops so the 40 is actually a 35 on the tops and 40 on the drops

@GCPerformance18

yes you are right

The AR in route originally came out for the ENVE custom road bike. The POG bar is called the SES Pro Aero road 1 piece bar.

You can buy up here in Ontario Canada only problem its 1600 bucks way overpriced

I’ve had an Enve aero stem for 5 years. It’s superb. You don’t need an integrated stem and bar. You need to be able to change the stem length.

i buy almost everything for aesthetics. i'm too damn slow for any other reason these days!

they're the aero not the AR, different drop shape - that's why it's 37c-c as well, which lines up with the 42 model

Simple bikers like us have Enve components. The pros have Envy components!

Very interesting approach to the topic! Thank you for such an informative video! 🌺💚

Yeah AR and Aero are different product lines with Enve, but I totally see why so many people mistake them for the exact same name. AR looks like an abbreviation of Aero if you’re not paying close attention. I’ve never loved a component more than my AR bars (just bars, not the cockpit), but they are very much road-adjacent gravel bars and not TdF road racing bars. I wouldn’t choose them for my Tarmac (or Tadej’s Colnago)!

I ride the 35-40 enve with an alu stem and I love the combo. Would choose the narrow tops/flared drops and the stiffness of the alu stem any day over other bars

Hi GC performance Super cool 😎 ride with some cool 😎 upgrades. It looks like Tedej follows GC performance to upgrade his v4rs with cool 😎 tech 🚴‍♂️👍

Maybe the integrated handlebar is (still) from deda elementi? The Alanera RS? UAE was sponsored by them back in the days and maybe they still use their products, but relabeled nowadays…

Are UCI rules only applied to the frame? I thought it was applied to all equipment including handlebars. The UCI rules I'm referring to is all equipment is available to the public. They have been running that handlebar since last year. If they not going to release that handlebar then the UCI should deem that bike illegal.

Special versions of Tour bikes and parts has long been a thing and the UCI doesn't seem to care. For a long time Sarto and a speciality builder in Spain, built most of the peloton's bikes regardless of whose name was tubes. Enve making special bars is just a continuance of a long tradition.

I have a custom road and I believe my one piece combo is different from the one they are now selling. I have few photos to share, if you would like to review.

I think it also uses a weird bottom bracket from Bikone, like one piece or something like that

Enve had the new aero bars on display at EuroBike. They're coming...

I don't know wth is going on with Enve they said they would release right after the AR one piece but nothing yet about the Aero, but they do say they are releasing at some point. The one piece handlebar that's currently available is their one piece All Road bars, the one Tadej uses is the Aero one that hasn't been released yet.

If there’s plenty of people who can afford what the pros use that’s interesting. I wonder what the breakdown is as far as bike store margins are concerned for the top shelf equipment versus the “prosumer” and mid level buyer. Does the budget bike consumer even still exist? I for one approach bike stuff from a “bang for the buck” which is why I build my own bikes up with stuff I find anywhere from Aliexpress to Panda Podium to a high level bike store in Quebec or my local bike stores. I shop around because it’s all part of the hobby but if I was racing a lot or doing those fast group rides I imagine I’d be looking for the pro level gear. But I’d still probably not look for a $1200 handlebar.

New “pogi” handlebar will be available this summer soon

Love how GC finds the time to cover such silly topics but let me help him understand the difference between the handlebars. The one piece bar offered to the race teams is a sleeker, narrower, lighter piece designed around a race longer stem and reach. The one for the consumer is beefier , design to work with shorter stem length , accepts their TT extensions clamp and has to be more sturdier and stiff. Enve offers aero clamps for their TT extensions , that clamp on the aero profile top bar. Hope this makes sense and GC can reload now

@SandSanta

19 күн бұрын

That doesn't really answer the question. GC already covered that they are different - he isn't exploring WHY they are different, just asking why the Pro one is offered for sale because thats what consumers want. You don't really answer that question either. As for being beefy or not, you don't know that for a fact because you don't know how the carbon has been laid up on the pro version. A bulkier look doesn't necessarily mean a stronger, stiffer bar.

@@SandSanta dude... when a brand is selling a product to consumers they have to deliver it so that it can withstand things consumers may do to them. If they sell the same handlebar - like you want them to do - and a few riders try to mount the aero extensions and die in crashes it would be bad for the brand. Not so hard to get I believe.... btw, 1200 $ or 1399 € for a handlebar that offers nothing other handlebars don't for less than half the price is ridiculous, so a smart buyer stays away from that crap anyways; which is also true for their wheels which are hookless and dangerous - watch Tadej's crash caused by that!

Dude, just stop. The video is about how they are different. You don’t seem to get that consumers don’t care about practicality; they just want what the pros have, because it’s cool. That’s all. we don’t care about cycling competitively, so we have the money and privilege to buy whatever we want, practicality be damned. It’s a sport where you just use whatever you want, not what you need. Simple.

Are there tests comparing performance of various rotors and pads? I'm heavy, so if something brakes notably better, I'm interested.

Not really, but I follow another KZreadr who is a weight weenie. He has tried all sorts of rotors, including Carbon-Ti, and he is now using the latest Dura-Ace rotors because, in his own words, "these are the only rotors that do not bend with hard braking during descents." Mind you, he lives in Japan and all he does is climb! So I trust his opinion.

my question is whether that ENVE bar is as light and strong as Roval Rapide Cockpit I have on my Aethos along with aero 3D headset spacers which is significantly less cost and has won a lot of TdF sprints, etc.
