I had my Diamondback Andean built with an Alpha One instead of the stock cockpit. I really like the bars but ran in one fitting issue: Using the Zipp Vuka AXS extensions in combination with the TriRig Alpha One massively restricts the aft-adjustability of the extensions as the bulging of the Vukas hit the clamps of the base-bar. Being a short rider that leaves me with the extensions being too long. A non-issue for bigger riders or users of regular shaped extensions but something you should be aware of if your short-armed with a compulsory need for integration.Yep, that's a fair critique. Any bar with a forward-offset clamp is going to have that issue to some extent (for example, Alpha One, 3T Aduro, or the Trek SC Gen 2 bar). That's the reason we designed Gamma One and Gamma 115; these extensions achieve similar ergonomic features to many modern extension shapes, while preserving the maximum possible range of reach adjustment:
Of course, I understand the desire to integrate and hide everything from the wind. For AXS, our recommended way to satisfy that integration itch is to mount the BlipBox on the UNDERSIDE of the Dragonfly. You can see how we did it in this article:
