The Alpha X comes with a stem. It is a complete cockpit.

If you look at the pictures, the stem and aerobar are a single piece, like the 3t ventus or Zipp Vuka stealth. The Sigma X appears to be a standard stem that copies the design of the stem section of the Alpha X.

Yes, that's correct - the Alpha X is a bar/stem combo (so as far as a "deal" goes, I guess you could say we include the stem for free!) I don't recall being asked that question specifically, as ck21trhc said. We try to make that explicit in the opening lines of the Alpha X description, that it's a bar/stem combo. But I can add a note to the purchase info section as well.

have to ask, it may have already been asked, but how secure are the magnetic covers on the omega x? ie, what's it take to knock them off and lose them?

Flex coming from bars or stem? What stem do you have?

I don't know how secure they are, but I do know that nothing functional will go wrong if you do lose them.

They don't guide or hold the wedge or arms any more.

dirt, grime, aero would be the concerns as well as the cost of replacing if this is something that is going to fall off, (ala those giro helmet issues some folks had with the magnetic visors) or get knocked off when scrubbing tire with glove(hand up against brake) after running over sharp gravel/glass

I am just curious. i'd see this as a good improvement for the rear brake on my bike, whereby I could actually adjust the pad location for different tires(training/racing) for the resultant distance change in the horizontal dropouts of the wheel.(being able to move pads up and down on the arms) currently, it requires removing brake from frame to adjust this or buying a training tire that is closer to height of racing tire(which might not be ones first choice)

Yeah I understand. I'm going to be testing one soon and I can roundhouse kick it and stuff and see

The new setup of the Alpha X looks great, I like the way the di2 unit can be hidden from the wind.

With the Sigma X will the di2 unit fit inside the stem itself, or will it only fit cables? Basically the old Sigma but being big enough to fit di2 9070 controller would be ideal.

Does any of those things make the rider faster? The base bar and extensions are almost as expensive as an entry level tribike...

These products are aimed at triathletes looking for the final marginal gains in their quest for Kona etc etc.

And people with too much money. Nice gear, though.

I've never been able to get one to come off accidentally. The fit is both magnetic (9mm x 2mm Neodymium, and it's a magnet-to-magnet connection for extra strength), as well as a friction fit. I've tried rumble strips, some solid bike-on-ground bashing, nothing. Previously when it was magnet-to-steel, I could get them loose in extreme circumstances. But magnet-to-magnet and they're not going anywhere.

The Sigma X Cable Cover isn't designed to house a Di2 junction, just collect mechanical cables. Instead, we recommend affixing the Di2 junction on the rear surface of the stem. Since there are no pinch bolts there, you should have extra room to "dock" the junction there (either with double-sided tape, or maybe hot glue), keeping it out of the wind while still easily accessible. Previously, the Sigma cable cover occluded the steerer tube, and the junction would fit in the space just above the top cap. Now, since we don't occlude the steerer tube, there's no "cavity" above it. But still plenty of spots to tuck a junction nice and neatly.

YES! Absolutely. And funny you should mention the entry-level bikes -- the Alpha X plus an entry level frame can actually be FASTER than a superbike costing many thousands of dollars MORE than the entry level + Alpha X. See our wind tunnel data for more info.
