RXL SL Carbon Aero Handlebar

So far so good. I did a 40 mile test ride and one of the main benefits of these bars is that they offer more positions than a regular round bar. The flat aero position is very comfortable and has a slight downward angle, which I think is a more natural position compared to a flat top bar. Due to my round handlebars, my hands sometimes get a bit numb, but I think the flat part of the handlebars will correct this situation. With drops I didn't notice any difference to standard bars. The raised sides also offer a great position compared to standard rods. However, I did not route the cables through the holes provided as Campagnolo warned that bending too much would result in reduced shifting efficiency. I simply taped the cables to the bottom of the bars and taped them around. These bars combined with the new Campagnolo Centaur 10-speed shifters are a dream combination over the previous setup of Campagnolo Xenon 10-speed shifters and ITM Super Anatomic 46-speed bars. Very happy now.
