With the Cadex stack (and base bar height) can be achieved with spacers above or below the base bar. I asked this question last year when info about the bike was first released.
With reply from:
You want to have decent separation of basebar and armrests, but if you can do that without slamming the basebar - that may be the fastest as well as more comfortable
Obviously can't know fastest without testing, but there is no reason not to prioritise comfort
cyclenutz’s reply makes sense if nothing more than comfort sake. Plus, not apples to apples but there’s all this talk about disrupting the space like jamming shit down your jersey or Ku with that hump thing. I’m definitely leaning towards raising the base bar.

Referring to base bar adjustment on page 7 of the brochure: Is there an aero penalty having it +40mm vs 0mm? I run things more or less slammed on all my tri bikes which means the base bar is generally very low and uncomfortable if I have to use the base bar (like when climbing and getting out of the saddle). Raising the base bar up even that 40mm would help comfort wise.With reply from:
