Its probably been covered already but here is Ovals new TT bars - Unsure if it is an improvement over there current ones and if so in what way - aero, wieght, comfort?

You know it confuses me how Oval, Hed, and the lot can put so much work into shaping/designing the ‘base’ section and aero extensions yet fail to consider how to make the integration of the risers/pads more streamlined to match the rest of the bar?
My ultimate TT bar would look like the current hed bar but the wing would be very narrow so you could grap it for climbing like a traditional drop bar.

Hey ms6073
I think that area of the bars is in the hole/vacuum of your hands, so the air at that point is going around. Remember your punching a hole in the wind with your hands.
But that is a cool bar; it looks like their fork with the slot to move the air back to laminar flow. Just bring money!!
Dan…
doesn’t look like an UPGRADE to the A900/Hed bar at all. I’m unsure who/what they’re targetting with this … cruiser bikes maybe?

looks a bit like manalo saiz has had something to do with them. former once director sportif had those carbon “cinelli” ones and alot of the liberty riders still use them even though they are sponsored by oval, perhaps these are to give them the option of using ovals products.
