Bontrager Aeolus RSL VR-C Integrated Bar/Stem Aero Handlebar

Upgrade your cockpit and enjoy a tidier setup with the Bontrager Aeolus RSL VR-C Integrated Bar/Stem Aero Handlebar. The weight saving benefits of opting for a single carbon component over a bar and stem combination are obvious, but it's the aerodynamic gains that really make the upgrade worthwhile.

With a lightweight OCLV carbon fibre construction, Bontrager has created a compliant but seriously stiff cockpit that absorbs chatter and makes sprinting in the drops even more efficient. In the wind tunnel, this cockpit is 10% faster than it's predecessor, saving seven watts which could be the difference in besting your 10-mile TT or not. The neat look is boosted by integrated cable management which keeps your cables and hoses neatly out of the way, while the broad, ergonomic tops feel great in-hand. The included Blendr mount allows you to install a Garmin bike computer and Bontrager Ion light (both sold separately).

  1. Hi, would this Bontrager Bar-Stem fit a 2022 Cannondale Systemsix Hymod, EF Frameset please?

    Asked by M4tt13w (Hereford) —

    1. Hi there, The Aeolus RSL VR C is designed as an integrated cockpit for Trek's own frames, matched to their steerer and internal routing. It isn't a confirmed fit on a Cannondale SystemSix, so we wouldn't recommend it for that frame. Many thanks Joe W

  2. Would this fit a 2022 Trek Edmonda SL6?

    Asked by Mike (Edinburgh) —

    1. Hi Mike, Yes, this is the VR version, which is approved for use with a carbon or alloy steerer, so it'll fit the standard steerer on a 2022 Emonda SL6. As it's a one-piece bar and stem, you'll set your bar height with the headset spacers on the bike, so it's worth checking your current spacer stack gives you the position you want. Many thanks Joe W
