2014 TREK speed concept aerobat- UCi vs. NON-UCI
Quote | Reply
Trek lists two different aerobar's, a UCI legal and a NON-UCI aerobar.

And by aero bar, I mean the base bar- not the mono extension.


What is the difference?

I was under the impression you buy aerobar's by width, like any other brand. But, apparently there are only two options and it doesn't say what size.

What is the scoop?

I believe the difference is depth. I'm not positive, but I think there is a certain ratio for maximum depth for the UCI basebar (3:1?). The tri one is super deep on the 2014 generation.

IIRC, the UCI compliant bar has a 3:1 ratio while the non-compliant bar is 6:1. As such, the non-compliant bar is a bit faster. There's really no point in getting the UCI legal version unless you plan on doing a lot of TTs

So, are the only base bars available 40cm wide? And only the depth of the aero section is the difference between the UCI legal and Non-UCI legal?

They don't make a wider version? Like 42 or 44cm wide?

don't have a picture handy, but it's similar to the difference between the UCI and non-UCI version of the 1st generation bar...give the aspect ratio a KVF treatment and (in this case) make it a touch wider:
