As a 64 year old cyclist I was having increased problems with my neck and original set up, with the bars being slightly too low. The options I had were to have an increased rise stem ie 17 degrees ( I tried it but it did`nt look right) , change the forks ( expensive), sell the bike ( I love the bike) or fit these bars. They are brilliant, that 15 degrees of rise is good and to be honest they look good on the bike. Whilst a 17 degree stem worked for my neck, it just did`nt look right. So fitting these hover bars are a simple solution to an aging problem. There is plenty of room for my cycle computer and although I have not fitted my light, it will be no problem to fit. I am a very happy bunny !

Excellent choice of bars. Had them on a few weeks now and the comfort on the hoods is excellent. Really fixed my riding position and it’s still manages to be aggressive on the drops.

Are the bars Di2 compatible?
Hi there, Yes these are, Many thanks Joe W
I am interested in the Hover bar when they are back in stock 40cm. Could you tell me if the bar has grooves underneath for the external cabling or can this be routed internally. I currently have a standard bar with cables underneath but flush.
Hi there, Please contact the Customer Care team for help with this, Many thanks Joe W
Does anyone know if there is a version for internally routing cables through the stem?
Hi there, No there is not, Many thanks Joe W
About Specialized
Innovate or die.
Founded in California in 1974, Specialized began with a simple promise: serious riders deserve serious gear. Half a century later, the brand still funds its own wind tunnel, builds its own carbon, and tests every bike with the world's best so that you ride your own best.
The first production mountain bike. The first cycling-specific shoes. FACT carbon, the Win Tunnel, S-Works. Specialized has a habit of building the things the rest of cycling ends up copying.
