Look Air Bar Vitesse P24 85mm Reach

The Look Air Bar Vitesse P24 85mm Reach is not a component you bolt on as an afterthought. On the P24 track frame, the cockpit is part of the aerodynamic system — and this bar was engineered to complete it. Designed specifically for the P24, the Air Bar Vitesse integrates into the front end of the bike with the kind of purposeful fit that only purpose-built parts can achieve. When Look built the P24, they weren't leaving the handlebar to chance.

Riding a track pursuit setup is about eliminating everything that doesn't contribute to speed. Your position is locked. Your environment is controlled. Every gram of drag, every flex in the cockpit, every millimetre of reach is a decision — not an accident. The 85mm reach variant of the Air Bar Vitesse places you in a shorter, more aggressive forward position, suited to riders who need that tighter reach to hold an effective aero tuck without compromising power transfer or control at the front end.

The bar is constructed from carbon fibre, which keeps the overall weight low while maintaining the stiffness a track setup demands. On a velodrome, you are not absorbing road vibration or navigating obstacles — you are putting down power and holding a line. Handlebar flex is wasted energy. The carbon construction here is designed to ensure that the force you apply goes where it needs to go, without the handlebar becoming the weak link in the system. Paired with the Look Air Stem — the designated companion component — the integrated cockpit behaves as a single aerodynamic unit rather than a collection of parts.

Design Benefits

1. Integrated Aerodynamic Cockpit: The Air Bar Vitesse is designed as a native component for the P24 frame, not an adapted road or triathlon bar. This purpose-built approach means the bar profiles and transitions are optimised for the P24's front-end geometry, contributing to a cleaner aerodynamic package across the entire cockpit. When used with the Look Air Stem, the connection between bar and stem is designed to minimise air turbulence at the contact point.
2. Carbon Construction for Stiffness and Weight: Track racing imposes a specific set of demands — high power outputs, no vibration management required, and an uncompromising need for rigidity. Carbon fibre construction addresses all of these at once, delivering a bar that keeps mass down without sacrificing the lateral and torsional stiffness required to translate sprint and pursuit efforts efficiently into forward motion.
3. 85mm Reach for a Compact Riding Position: The shorter 85mm reach positions the rider closer to the bar, which suits athletes with shorter arms or those who have refined their fit to a more compact front-end setup. Maintaining a sustainable aero position on the track over pursuit distances depends heavily on reach — too long and the rider can't hold the tuck, too short and power suffers. The 85mm option gives fitters and athletes an additional tool to dial the position with precision.
4. 30cm Width for Narrow Frontal Profile: At 30cm, this bar presents a narrow shoulder width to the wind, reducing the frontal area of the rider in the tuck position. For track disciplines where fractions of a second matter and aerodynamic marginal gains are well-established, the narrow profile is a deliberate performance choice rather than an arbitrary dimension.
5. System-Level Compatibility: The Air Bar Vitesse is designed to work in conjunction with the Look Air Stem, ensuring that the cockpit functions as a cohesive, engineered system. Using matched components removes the uncertainty of mixing parts with different interface tolerances and ensures the aerodynamic intent of the P24's cockpit design is fully realised.

Final Take

The Look Air Bar Vitesse P24 in 85mm reach is a specialist component for a specialist machine. It is built for track riders — pursuers, time trialists, velodrome competitors — who are riding the P24 and want every part of their setup working together rather than working against each other. If your fit calls for a shorter reach and your frame is the P24, this is the bar that completes the picture.
