When designing these extensions we wanted to utilize the natural ability of carbon fibers to be shaped into an aerodynamic shape while still providing a good amount of strength and stiffness, so ASC stands for Aero Shaped Carbon.
The 52 ASC follows up on our very popular first Aero Shaped Carbon extension (the 43 ASC) with a higher grip angle.
The front section (from the wrist fin forward) has been angled 9 degrees to provide a 52 degree grip angle and comfortable wrist support.
Additionally, the grip has been lengthened by 20mm to provide greater comfort for SRAM Blips users. The handle can be cut to fit.
The premise of the ASC range is to move the extension laterally to share its frontal area with the rider's arm, whilst maintaining a 22.2mm mounting area to be compatible with most standard aero handlebars.
The 52 ASC will be a strong contender for the title of "most comfortable aerodynamic extensions", at least for standard aerobar mounts.
The fit close to the wrist area is designed to facilitate airflow over the arm and to increase the contact area which will provide extra comfort and give you greater control over your bike. The shape has been optimized using CFD to minimize drag without sacrificing strength.
For who is it?
The 52 ASC is designed to optimize the aerodynamics of your existing handlebar, but pairs exceptionally well with the Race+ or Ergo+ armrest. Giving you the ideal support position which, once again, will help you relax whilst riding and as we've already said... the key to speed is relaxation.
Extensions fit any aero handlebar designed for 22.2mm. So it can be used by any cyclist who wants to improve the comfort of their aerobar grips.
