Found: Siren Bicycles Fred Bars Back For A Limited Run

When touring, I use drop bars with clip-on aerobars for an additional and comfortable position when doing long hauls in the saddle. I also like to use a bar-bag to keep my essentials and valuables in. Unfortunately, the aero-bars and bar-bag are designed to mount in the same position on my bars, so finding a good setup to combine them is difficult. This could be a nice solution, but I’d want to mount the bar-bag on the Fred bars installed UNDER the regular stem and bars. Has anyone tried such a setup? Maybe the bar bag would end up too close to the frame and/or interfere with derailleur cables.

The benefit here seems to be (I have not tried them yet, but now that they are available again…) raising the aero-bars up a few cm and allows for the aero pads to be set back slightly as well. When applying aero-bars to mtbs for ultra races those are two issues I’ve run into with fitting clients: the aero bars are too low and too far forward essentially pulling the rider off the saddle or forcing them to rotate their hip and flatten the spine to reach the aero bars. Aero bars on the mtb are more for removing the weight from the hands vs getting aero as one would thing about with TT or tri. A secondary benefit of course is freeing up space on the handle bar to attached bags, lights, gps, etc. Looking forward to testing these.

I’m surprised that no one has asked how much do they weigh and is there a carbon fiber version coming yet.

Aero bars on my Solo, here I come!

what is the width in mm?
