According to the product specialist
Pros
| 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. |
| The high grade aluminium used in the construction gives light and stiff handlebars. |
| With this handlebar, the shifters are a bit further away than with the Pro LT & PLT handlebars. This makes for a more sporty riding position. |
| Compared to other Race & Performance handlebars, your shifters are still quite close. This gives you just that bit more comfort. |
| The handlebar curve is a lot deeper, which allows you to adopt an aggressive and performance-oriented sitting position in the drop bars. |
| 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
| For a truly sports orientated, deep sitting position the Pro Vibe handlebar is a better choice. |
| It is not possible to conceal the Di2 cables entirely internally with this handlebar. Only at the bottom of the handlebar are openings provided to connect the Di2 cable to the junction box. |
| If less agile, the deep drop bars may be uncomfortable. |
| 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. |
