PRO

Got this bar and a shorter stem to replace the stock set-up on my Specialized Aethos. Stock was 40cm and this is 38cm. Also has slightly shorter reach and shallower drop. I am still getting things dialed in but so far so good. Only pain was the groove for the cables runs directly under the top of the bar, six o'clock if you are looking at profile. It would have been a smoother transition from the levers if it was more towards the front of the bar, seven or eight o'clock if you are looking from the non-drive side. And this is a minor issue. Overall great bars for the price.

Bought these to add hand positions for my gravel bike. They do the trick, affording a comfortable option. You definitely get narrow when using them, but I couldn't get low enough to feel more aero. They are very light, well made and don't take up much room on the bar tops. Obviously they are for round bars only. They come with separate mounts for Wahoo and Garmin computers and have holes for a go pro type mount underneath. You need to buy a specific go pro type mount - the Shimano part was only available from Amazon Japan but Amazon US has workable knock-offs too.

This 3d version is a decent step up from the conventional Pro Stealth Team saddle. However it is still fairly firm in general. It also adds weight in comparison to the Team version. Biggest benefit is a good one, in that it does absorb a decent amount of road buzz, which is the main reason I kept my 2 saddles. Its good, but I think somewhat overrated for the prices the 3D sells for. I did buy my 2 during a sale, so that is what I'd recommend to maximize the benefit these saddles give to the buyer.

Pros:

-Wider mid-section provides better support when adopting more aggressive and aero posture

-Ample cutout provides immediate perineal pressure relief

-Mesh zones provide varying degrees of stiffness, allowing the rider to lock-in to their position without drifting

Cons:

-Very short seat rail adjustment area (measured at 49 mm from end to end markings, vs 60 mm commonly seen in other saddles)

-Saddle nose wider than most, may lead to undesired contact

-Some riders may find mesh too soft, leading to poor power transfer; unsuitable for sprinting/racing
