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.
These bars are performance-oriented but also comfortable - the best of both worlds!
Made from light and strong triple-butted aluminium.
Compatible with the D12 shifting system
This handlebar is made of custom butted 7050 aluminium which makes it very light and strong.
The comfortable design allows less agile riders to ride in the drops more easily.
Cons
For a truly sports orientated, deep sitting position the Pro Vibe handlebar is a better choice.
The shifters are further from the bars, which some riders find uncomfortable.
Due to the use of the stiff aluminium, this handlebar is less comfortable and light than a higher-end carbon handlebar.
