I'm looking at getting the EXS because I'm still waiting for my new Trek bar since the recall. It's scheduled to arrive in May, which is a bit late. The EXS bar would also be 380 instead of 400, with the hope of some aero gains. The price is holding me back though, especially as I'll end up with the Trek bar eventually.

I see it the same way. I, on the other hand, am waiting for the new Roval handlebars from Specialized, which so far only a few riders ride in the world tour. Unfortunately, it is not at all clear when they will be. Maybe until 2024?

I'm looking for a 420/100 and there's no availability on the EXS site - can I trust this Aliexpress one:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568049 ... _shipto=US

Also, if I purchase here for a Spec Allez Sprint with the 3D printed adaptor that lets it fit the Tarmac SL7 stem & spacers - where do I let them know that?

I bought some of the R150 handlebars from this store on AliE with no issues.

Do these ali express orders turn up packaged in the proper exs boxes etc?

Basso Diamante eps 12

just to anyone concerned about the service of asian bike brands.
i stripped the bolt of my stem for my exs handlebar.
contacted exs on sunday, and they express shipped a set for me.
they have arrivived in 4 days to denmark,
no payment for any of it.
that is amazing service !

That’s good to know. I think they’re putting more focus to increase brand exposure along with customer service.

For the price, it seems higher than the low end carbon bars on Aliexpress but much less than, i.e. Black Inc aero barstem at $675.

Cable routing seems to be very thoughtful with a nice curve and smooth transition from fork steerer and oblong hose exit to shifter which I find quite nice. Even the entry holes for external routing appears smooth transition.

I did not get the fancy printed box. It was wrapped in foam with accessories in resealable vinyl bags.

That’s amazing! Do you mind sharing their email? Couldn’t find it easily on the site.

For those intrested. New compact handlebars are available form them again. I just ordered 2 bars 380x100 and 380x110 ...

I got one as well, has yet to ship, have you heard anything yet?

Do they come with spacers for the Supersix EVO or do you have to ask?

I just received mine for my Allez Sprint. It came with the bars, spacers, and a 3D printed fully integrate headset to cap, very cool. I’ll post pics after I do the install.

If you are referring to the new 4th gen evo, not yet. They are apparently due to receive the 4th gen evo next month, which will allow them to make spacers specifically for that frame

I mean the 3rd gen. Do you have to ask them specifically for it? I was going to order directly from exs-cycling.com, but I didn’t see any way to specify what bike it’s for.
