Product Details
MBN: BLITZBAR

A STEP FORWARD IN STIFFNESS, ERGONOMICS & AERODYNAMICS


Utilising the Blitz bridge crossbeam, AeroCoach Blitz handlebars provide improvements in stiffness and aerodynamics for a wide variety of track races.


Suitable for sprinting as well as bunch endurance, increased reach and shallow drop allow for a more aerodynamic overall package when combined with modern track frame geometry, reducing steerer spacers and maximising UCI reach limits to lower the rider's torso angle.


OVERSIZED GRIPS & EASY TRANSITION TO HIGH DROPS


The Blitz bar drops have a 28mm diameter, giving a larger surface area than standard bars to maintain a secure position.


As you move your hands up the drops, there is a smooth transition from the circular grip to an airfoil section, and an upper ledge to brace against when your hands are highest up the drops, for the lowest torso position achievable. In this hand position there is also a special airfoil shape which fits into your purlicue (between your thumb and forefinger).


MATERIAL


AeroCoach Blitz bars are made from 3D printed titanium, and far exceed ISO standards for fatigue testing by using a more stringent internal protocol which doubles the fatigue load, and an out of phase extremely high load condition simulating a standing start for an Olympic level cyclist, with up to 2500N applied to the drop bar.


The Blitz bridge in particular improves stiffness by creating a brace structure across the tops section, allowing the bar to withstand extremely high forces without issue.


AERODYNAMICS


Blitz bars are fully UCI compliant and take UCI regulations to the limit. By sweeping the upper section of the handlebar forwards, the effective aspect ratio and shape of the tops has been tuned to a faster shape than a tops section perpendicular to the airflow.


The Blitz bridge makes optimal use of the secondary element UCI regulations, and also carefully directs airflow to further improve aerodynamics of the bike/rider system.


The chart below shows the wattage savings at 65kph for a standard rider of 186cm in height. Comparisons have been made against a normal round handlebar of 380mm width, as well as a track specific aero drop handlebar - the Blitz bar takes aerodynamics to another level with its custom airfoils, ergonomic shaped sections and Blitz bridge.


UCI LEGALITY


Blitz bars are fully UCI compliant, including under the updated UCI width regulations for track racing.
