AEROBARS

Triathlon bikes are designed around aerobars. Most bikes will come with a basebar and aero extensions, but if you’re looking to either upgrade your current cockpit or possibly dial in a slightly higher-end option on a new bike, some of these superlight, aero and highly adjustable options might do the trick.

ZIPP Vuka Stealth

US$1,006 Breaking barriers for what’s possible with an integrated aero system, the Vuka Stealth is a sleek and endlessly adjustable system designed to provide triathletes with an aero-edge and super-optimized fit. The set-up integrates the stem, basebar and mounting hardware into a single streamlined aero system, boasting easy adjustments to its “stack” and “reach” as well as options for both pad width and position, along with extension width and length.
