I hope not. With the frame designs stalled due to the UCI rules, I love what folks are doing with the extensions. I just can’t justify their price at the moment.

Right now I know of 4 groups that are pushing this. The cheapest is the nearly stock WattShop at about $850, Len Lochmiller’s 100% custom to match your arm/position/bike (look at Ashton Lambie’s pursuit bikes) and the Russian CustomizerBike are about $1500 and I’ve heard the Speedbar setup is well above that.

To be legal I think Pinarello has to offer their 3D printed Ti bars as an option, which are a cool $11,000. Ridley is/was offering the ones Campenaerts used for somewhere in that 1500 dollar range as well.

The funny thing is that a friend of mine cooked the basic fairing idea up and hand made something very similar about 5 years ago.

There's also the Drag2zero ones which are in limited release at the moment but are the cheapest option out there and look great.
Also likely one of the lighter options compared to the others.

Have you seen a price on them. They've been saying they'll be release "next week" for a few months now.

I have a set of the wattshop bars, which are really well done.

Yep, you can get the poles, forearm pad and ergo grip for around the £250 which is excellent by comparison.

They seem to have been inundated with demand and manage a waiting list as parts are manufactured.
Not surprised for what looks a very tidy setup for a fraction of some of the others. Similar function in my opinion, debatable whether a couple watts lost in cylindrical shape by arm vs the curved flat edge of the speedbar I guess.
Both serve to reduce gap of bar and arms so I'm very happy to stick with drag2zero.
Hope to have mine fitted in a weeks time - will revert back after riding then.

Bring back TJ’s athletic cup and lunch box fairing

I think the common person behind Don, Lucy, Cheetham, and Lotto Soudal is Matthew Bottrill...

The WattShop guys were saying they save 10 watts over round bars. That might be a bit optimistic if you have standard tubing tucked n pretty tight, but at that level even 5 watts is probably worth it.

My other prediction is that the UCI bans these next year for cycling,

And a big Fuck You to the UCI
