Unfortunately, since I was not able to go to the windtunnel this last week to meet with the windtunnel Gurus, Joh Cobb and Cody Smith, I cannot substantiate these claims with any empiracle data. However, anecdotally I can tell you that I think these integrated bars are substantially faster than seperate round tubing components bolted together. I do think the integrated bars make a significant aerodynamic improvement, about the same as adding race wheels. At this point though, that is little more than a supposition on my part based on my racing experience.
