Trying to find a good handlebar companion for my P3. I’m leaning toward Vision, but also considering Carbon X and HED. Any suggestions out there, or things I need to consider before buying?
Racing Oly’s and Sprints this year, maybe a 1/2 mixed in there. I’m 6’4", 210lbs.
Thanks!
I believe that Visions have a weight limit assigned to them. Not sure if it still applies, since they don’t do a very good job of updating their website

Yes, they are limited to 200lbs on good surface roads. But they must be about the strongest bar out there, so it must be more than that in reality. They are as tough as nails, much better than the adjustable types…but of course, they are not adjustable, so if they don’t fit, they don’t fit.
The one piece bars may require a lot of stack to get the bar height right if you are not as flexible as Gumby. This is especially true on the P3 because of the short head tube. If you are using a fork with a carbon steerer, there is a limit to the amount of stack height you can use without risking it breaking. If you need to positiion your bars more than a few cm above the head tube, go with a bar/stem combination that will allow you to adjust height through stem rise.
