Specialized Roval Rapide Handlebars

Wind is the ultimate cruelty, and nowhere is it more keenly met than at the leading edge of your bike. Want to save an easy 20 seconds over 40 kilometers? Get a set of Rapide handlebars. Leveraging Specialized's countless hours of Wind Tunnel testing, they designed the Rapide bar to cut through the wind with knife edge efficiency, and at the same time provide the utmost comfort while hammering at the front. A textured surface on the tops ensures secure and comfortable grip even when wet, there's a recessed step that sets the bar wrap flush with the tops, the airfoil is offset forward to offer greater forearm and knee clearance, and at 225 g the Rapide is the lightest aero bar in its class. Aerodynamic performance without compromise. This is the leading edge.

• Aerodynamically engineered to save 20+ seconds over 40 km vs a round bar

• Innovative features, like textured tops and a smooth bar tape step, enhance your experience
