On the bottom where the tape is...is that a channel for hydro hoses? Appears that this could be used on a Caledonia 5?

Yes they allow for a couple different routing methods.

Interesting. Must be able to save some weight from the C5 heavy stem and handlebar combo...even though its heavier than other integrated combos.

That’s unfortunate. All these brands are so ridiculous with their “aero” handlebars

so i saw a pic of this bar with a K-Edge mount, and thought it'd be a direct bolt-on. not so. the bolt spacing is only like 17.5mm. I had to basically drill/extend a hole between the front three on the mount and the back slot. ended up hacking it up pretty good....

also the stack on this bar is SUPER low. had to add another 15mm of spacers to retain the fit i had.

Chuffed on these bars so far. If you wrap the top it can be pretty bulky for better or worse tho.

TIL OE bolts are trash. galled out after two cycles. 5.4nm torque. used copper anti-seize. trash. the boss the thread into was untouched and took a tap no problem. replace these bolts asap. why o why is PRO stuff sub par compared to Shimano? because it's dutch specced?

For me, it's really an excellent cockpit, very ergonomic. Unfortunately the pads aren't perfect and tend to peel off on the top bend.
The original versions of pads was really bad.

Second version are better but not perfect.

I've glued this on with tubular glue for the moment.

Google translate worked fine for me. I'm interested in these handlebars as I'm looking to replace my stock Filante handlebar that is a wooping 43cm!
