According to the product specialist
Pros
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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
| 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. |
| For a truly sports orientated, deep sitting position the Pro Vibe handlebar is a better choice. |
| Due to the use of the stiff aluminium, this handlebar is less comfortable and light than a higher-end carbon handlebar. |
