Where are the bar widths measured?

Strange that they'd get rid of the narrow drops. I'll admit I was nervous about how they'd feel before buying (increased pressure points in drops), but it wasn't an issue at all and I felt it was something that really set them ahead of the rest.

Edit - Discovery is their gravel line from memory, so perhaps thats why it doesn't have the narrow drops of the Vibe series.

Interesting Vinci/Rapide-style transition caps, I guess they'll also come out with an internally routed replacement for the existing Pro Vibe stem?

New Vibe Aero bar....
Those look good. Any idea how much flare we're talking?

Thanks for posting!

They look relatively short reach. Hoping the drop in the 37 is shallow, as on some of their other smallest SKUs. In pics it looks like drop is probably traditional, I.E. 130+

When they "announced" the new Pro Vibe superlight in august 2022 it took 6 months before the first couple of bars reached like 2 sellers in Europe and another few months before it was widely available.

Just mentioning as it could give an indication how fast Pro is working on releasing high end bars.

Something weird I've noticed on the "Pro" brand bars is that the ends of the drops are really short. I didn't realize it until I got a set of them, and now I see it on all of their road/gravel bars. Its clearly to make the bars lighter and maybe to provide more knee clearance, but it makes them feel really weird in the drops. I couldn't get used to it and eventually replaced them, it felt like my hands were going to slip off the drops.

Never noticed it on my pro bars. I have, however, always thought the drops on my Rose bars extended excessively far.
