Probably the made in usa tax plus absurd tooling costs for a knowingly small/niche market.

I suspect the parts are made overseas and then just assembled here. Is that not how they build the Custom Road?
I'm within a hairs breath of buying a bike today and having to choose between this or the In-Route Aero Stem and Aero Bar at 62.5 cents on the Dollar. I'm pretty sure I know which way i'm going to go...

Well, now they have to fund a whole Pro Continental team (TotalEnergies). Guess that's where your money goes when you buy it, or at least part of it. It''s not custom. It's not super light. It may be slightly prettier than other offerings. Made in USA? May be and why would anyone care if we are honest. It sure as s*it not 2x the closet competitor.

Its an All Road bar after all, the aero one will be narrower
No justification on price here - just noting I find those ENVE bars very comfortably shaped. Haven't seen the EXS bars in person but they look nice as well but I do like ENVE bar shapes. Seems like a huge size run as well so I can only assume there is a cost associated with that. Will be interesting to see the specs on the aero version.
Just ride ..
Must have missed that they are gravel bars since I was blinded by the whole they're the same as Pogacars bars craprobbosmans wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:29 pmIts an All Road bar after all, the aero one will be narrower
They took the price of their competition and added the expense of sponsoring Teddy and fam, divided by the 100 master gravel diehards who will buy this product.
