Actually looks like it is available from Bikeinn in Spain?
I may be wrong, but looks like the new bar. Zero information description. Pretty expensive though but a nice bar!

Starbike have it listed since a week back with better prices! And 38cm soon in stock at even better price.
Ordered a 38cm at 333 euro (crazy expensive now when SEK is at history low). Total amount is about 100 euro cheaper than the quota I received from my LBS yesterday.
Will post pictures and weight once it shows up
They also have the new Pro integrated stem available in a few sizes. Sadly the -6 degree is not sufficient

The bar is yet to be found anywhere but Bikeinn and Starbike. R2 bike only listed the stem in stock.
Said 1-3 business days at Starbike (lots of orders) and mine was early. Still no bar, texted Starbike who said there have been a delay and Pro messed up the inventory/stock count.
And today I got a confirmation the bar will be shipped tonight so excited! 334 euro seems fair as the news from last year says listing MSRP is €420 which is about what bikeinn charge.
Anyone else ordered one?

Arrival day! This is probably the first/one of the first pro bar that made it to Sweden.
152 grams size 38. Feels more like a piece scrap than a handlebar...
It is black... So it is painted and the paint feels extremely cheap tbh. Like real cheap. Any 100 quid bar will give you a better luxury feel. It definitely lowers the impression a lot.
Still light though. Will be installed with a 110mm Hyperstem + Garmin mount.
The only thing that seems odd is the yellow warning sticker for not being compatible with any clip on. Still in the marketing letter from September last year highlighted new clip on bars...

The drops are extremely thin. 1mm ish thick. I don't know the structure of similar bars but I guess sub 150g bars from Darimo, Schmolke are of similar thickness..
Left side Someone in production slipped with the grinder because one of edges are completely sanded off on the right side.

I bought it from starbike. There no counterfeit of this bar, it's too high end and too new. Nothing like it! Not even Darimo.

Anyone with a similar bar from Darimo or Schmolke who could tell me what the bar ends look like?
Cause this one is gonna brake any minute... It is flimsy like a can of coke. If I pinch any harder I am gone press through the carbon.
Please see short video on YouTube!

Wow that looks very sketchy. Those bars were on my list for a new build but I may have to reconsider.eucalyptus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 10:18 pmAnyone with a similar bar from Darimo or Schmolke who could tell me what the bar ends look like?

Could it be that that area is supposed to be 'reinforced' by the bar end plug? Would be interesting to see how it is a bit higher up.

2 things: Pinching a carbon structure doesn't tell you anything about the stiffness. And this handlebar is weight optimised. No surprise it doesn't get any stiffness layers at a point where you don't need any stiffness. Darimo handlebars are also very thin at this area. I'm sure this handlebar is just fine.
You would be surprised to see how thin a seattube or a toptube of a very light frame can be in on some areas.
