According to the product specialist
Pros
| By using 6061-T6 aluminium, the Bontrager Comp VR-S handlebar has a long lifespan. |
| This handlebar has a comfortable handlebar shape, thanks to Bontrager's VR-S geometry. |
| This PLT handlebar is stiff and lightweight as it is made from double-butted aluminium. |
| A higher degree of stiffness results in better handling than with a handlebar from a lower segment. |
| The sitting position is quite sporty but there is also enough room to sit in a more comfortable position. |
| These bars are great value for money. |
| The flared bar curve puts you in more comfortable riding position. |
| These bars provide a comfortable riding position during long rides on gravel, tar and forestry roads. |
| Comfortable even in the drops, giving you more control on difficult trails and descents. |
| High quality/price ratio. |
| Di2 cables can be neatly and safely hidden in these bars. |
| These bars have a gravel-specific design that looks sweet on your gravel bike! |
Cons
| The comfortable geometry of this handlebar makes it less suitable for the fastest riders who like to be as aerodynamic as possible. |
| For a truly sports orientated, deep sitting position the Pro Vibe handlebar is a better choice. |
| These bars are less light and stiff than bars in higher price segments. |
| The 6061 aluminium of these bars is heavier and less stiff than the superior 7050 aluminium found in higher price brackets. |
| The Di2 cables are not completely internally routed, but actually enter the handlebar at the bottom. |
