Cervelo Carbon Aero Compact Handlebar

The Cervélo Carbon Aero Compact Handlebar is designed for riders who want aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing comfort or control. Developed to complement Cervélo’s aero road platforms, this bar blends a sleek, low-drag profile with rider-friendly ergonomics suited for long road miles and high-speed efforts.

The carbon construction allows Cervélo to shape the tops with a refined aero cross-section that reduces frontal area while maintaining a natural hand position. This design delivers measurable aerodynamic benefit on the road while preserving the stiffness needed for confident sprinting and precise handling.

A compact drop and short reach make transitions between hand positions quick and intuitive, reducing strain on the shoulders and wrists. The result is a bar that feels fast and purposeful when riding in the drops, yet relaxed and stable during extended time on the hoods.
