An here is the 380/115 - the quality is even worse. So much visible glue and really really bad gaps... yikes!

They work great on the Parlee Rz7 and look great on that bike too. Definetly pair better with full aero bikes. Most of the builds I've seen with them have the bar tape going up and over the rubber flap above the hoods a bit like most aero bars.

When you say "they look great on the Rz7" are you saying the factory spacers and top cover from Parlee share the same dimension neck down? From the photo entries here it doesn't appear the Evo comes with any complementing piece other than the bar.

Yes the Rz7's spacers look pretty good with this bar and while they they dont match 100% they are close. Ive seen three builds with it and all looked good.Check out "Kaoscustombikes" on instagram where you can see a few pics. That said, I cant stand lots of spacers on an aero bike. The RZ7 in particular looks terrible to me when folks stack the spacers high!

It's heavy, it's ugly, it's terrible to install, it's expensive, and it sucks to wrap with bar tape. Run from this boat anchor.

[mention]MatosVelo [/mention] who publishes here regularly has one on his new bike. That's the very first one I see on a real-bike.

Matos Velo is not an individual person, but an online cycling gear review website here in France.

Well, there is a person with the Matosvelo name, here on WW, who is indeed person driving the website. He doesn’t post often but since this bar is quite rare, he is the only person that came in mind to answer Tymon question.

thanks, will try PM-ing him. it's sort of brutal shape really grows on me and IMHO it just fits modern aero bikes' square tubes.

i disagree with some of the negative comments re quality above at least for the sample i got. i noticed they did update the part numbers (which the commercial site STILL doesn't reflect btw..) no glue residue, good finishing, and actually decent design. and the remote shifter integration is actually pretty slick. they look alot better in person than in pics. putting these on a Parlee RZ7 with the horrible stock bar bend. About 15-20 gr lighter overall than that 2-piece OE bar.

410gr without 1.125 shim. ~405mm c-c at hoods. ~425 c-c at drops. Sz 40x105
