This and the primavera aero are so damn cool!
I'll wait more info and your review.

(I want to buy it too but honestly I don't know if I can fit it on my BMC's ICS stem).

I have the Zipp SL70 Aero, Prime Primavera Aero mk1 and mk2 in size 38cm at home.

All are great bars and the Prime Primavera Aero has a hole in the clamping aera, so is compatible with full internal routing. But I still prefer the Zipp bars, a bit more aero according to my testing and I prefer the comfort, although the Prime bars are not far behind.

Zipps are silly money now and need updating for full internal routing.

How did you do that aero testing? I doubt that anyone could measure the difference between two aero bars. Especially without a windtunnel.

In short, subjectively. Swapping bars on my bike and going out on rides along routes/segments well known to me. I think you're right, a wind tunnel would be needed to provide wattage numbers and I'm not doing that.

I unfortunately forgot to take a photo of the Orra on the scales. It's the 420 mm version as the 400 mm happened to be not in stock at Wiggle/CRC.

I noticed these on wiggle the other day. They look ugly af unmounted so I'm curious to see them taped up. If they are fine there, these are a definite option. Support chat assured me the original X-light would be restocked at some point they just don't know when.

They look pretty decent when mounted on bike, another shot:Image

Drop shape is a bit weird, it gets slimmer and a bit triangular where handlebar bends but after short test on trainer it actually is pretty comfortable.
I’ll post more photos once I put on some bartape (but that’s probably when it will be time to take it outside, I don’t feel like soaking fresh tape with sweat on a trainer Image)
