Was hoping to buy the EXS Aerover bar but was unable to find one directly so I wound up ordering an F1 bar. They're currently selling the bar on AliExpress for $340 with the conversion kit of your choice and the garmin mount. AliExpress instant savings is $9 off and then an additional $40 off using the code "40DEAL" for total price of $313 shipped to the US. Much more reasonable than the nearly $600 quoted for the EXS bar via ParcelUp.

Where do I buy the new F1S?

I got mine by emailing Windy (windy@farsports.cn). All the online listings say F1 so I'm not sure if they still have F1 stock or if it's actually the F1S and they just didn't update the listing.

According to PT, Farsports F1 actually works as an aero bar and reduces drag, compared to a round bar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4jzen9UcdU

Hello guys, I recentl bought some Farsports F1 handlebars but I'm having a small aesthetic problem. I have a Focus Izalco Max and my centering ring (the original one that fits inside the headset bearing) is not compatible with the cable routing of the bars.
I've used the one provided by Farsports but the finish is not perfect.Is there any alternative centering ring that fits inside the bearing and allows me to rout the 3 cables?
Thanks
My groupset is 105 mechanical.

Recieved my bar today not was just under 3 weeks from date of order to delivery in Pittsburgh PA. The box says F1S but inside was an original F1 bar which I was kind of expecting but I did get a bit excited to see F1S when I opened the package initially. I don't have a postage scale but my Park DS1 says .36kg with the OD1 sleeve and garmin mount (without the GoPro attachment) attached so on the ballpark of what everyone else was getting. It's a 36x100 bar for reference.

Hi, does anyone have measurements of the clamp of the bars?
currently on a ACR bar and stem combo without spacers so my steerer tube is cut quote short because car has 30mm clamp for the front brake cable to go through the star nut.

I see you use the CC slamstem, but curious on this top-cap that sits so flush on a 1 1/4 stem. what compression plug do you use? the one I find on internet (the star type) are not really supposed to be carbon fibre firendly.

Use Carbon-Ti X-Plug

Now you just need to get the stripe on the bars colour matched to the neon yellow

My fork has a bonded aluminum sleeve with a star nut inside.
The top cap came with the headset.

Hey all, wondering if anyone knows where I could source a new set of bolts for the Farsports F1 stem. I've managed to strip one of mine and would like to replace them.

Farsports wants $35 to ship (yes, just to ship) the bolts to me in the US....
