They’re not considered safe when riders may be racing in close proximity – a slight wobble could cause a major takedown. They’re not great for cornering either. Hence the reason they’re illegal in most events, except triathlon and time trials, where riders are mostly spread apart and riding fairly straight courses.

Why are aero bars not allowed?

What angle are aero bars?

Though wind-tunnel data suggests slightly titled-up forearms cut drag ever so slightly, level arms give better feel and balance. If you can ask a friend to photograph you side-on, you should note that the angle between your forearm and upper should be around 90-110°.

How close should aero bars be?

I have clip-on aerobars that are mounted about 8 inches apart, primarily because my bike computer is mounted close to my headset. I have trained and raced w/ them for over a year and am comfortable with this set-up.

Can I put aero bars on my road bike?

Do aero bars make a difference?

Yes, typically you will obtain an improvement in speed by adding clip-on aero bars to your bike. How much extra speed is dependent on many variables though (mostly how it changes your aerodynamics) but a couple of km/h faster is certainly possible.

Why don t Tour de France riders use aero bars?

Aerobars can be considered less safe for a few reasons: mostly because your hands are not on the brakes while riding in the aerobars. It also takes more practice and skill to maintain a straight line in the aerobars (especially in cross winds) due to how close your arms are together.

Can you put aero bars on a road bike?

AERO BARS MAKE YOU ~1min 40s per 40KM FASTER The advantage of adding aero bars on your road bike is to lower your upper body to a more aero position. You create less drag and hence go faster for the same amount of effort.

Do aerobars increase or decrease drag?

While setting up the aerobars as low as possible to maximize aerodynamics may sound logical, once past a certain point, it can actually increase drag while inhibiting muscle recruitment and power.
