Anyone have any insight on these? I have the alpha currently and am thinking of going to the Zipp. Convince me one way or the other.

What are you looking for out of your aerobar?
I doubt the Vukastealth is more aero than the Tririg... so is it a fit issue or just want something new and shiny?

Looking for a little better fit. Also the Alpha armpads are a little flimsy. Just want some impressions of both bars.

I've heard also that the Alpha is flexy, if that matters to you.

It is pretty bouncy if the roads are crappy. I also get a lot of rattling inside the bar from the cables. Never really had an issue with other bars. Not sure how to silence.

I have the Zipp Vuka Stealth aerobars. They were worth the money. The arm pads are huge, comfortable, and don't slip when wet.
The integrated stem makes the aerobars look amazing. Make sure you use the fit calculator on the Zipp website as the Vuka Stealth only comes with a 10mm spacer. The bar is stiff, doesn't flex, and is very well thought out. You can easily get the proper fit with these bars as everything is adjustable. I have the Zipp Vuka Race extensions as well. The Zipp Vuka BTA is the perfect BTA mount. Get the Stealth, you will love it

everything but min stack height. the difference between the two bars is probably large, such that if one is considering both for same fit, the alpha is going to need some spacers of some kind or the stealth is going to be too tall

Yep.
Right now I have 20mm spacers on the tririg. Did the calculator and it put me on a short with 10mm.
