Cinelli Vai

Cinelli VAI Aluminum Road Cycling HandlebarDiscover the perfect fusion of comfort and aggressive performance with the Cinelli VAI Handlebar, a premier choice for road cycling enthusiasts seeking to upgrade their cockpit. Expertly engineered to meet the demands of modern riders, the VAI handlebar delivers exceptional control, ergonomic support, and lightweight reliability. This new Aluminum 6061 T6 handlebar with shallow PPA drops and an ergonomic top is a masterclass in versatile design. It is perfectly suitable for those cyclists who enjoy a more comfortable high position for long-distance rides, but also for those who ride more aggressively, grabbing the drops for sprints and descents. The VAI represents Cinelli´s commitment to creating components that enhance your connection to the bike, offering a superior solution for a wide spectrum of road riders.Experience Unmatched Versatility and ComfortThe core benefit of the Cinelli VAI lies in its intelligent geometry. The ergonomic top section is slightly flattened, providing a wider, more comfortable platform for your hands when cruising on the tops. This design significantly reduces pressure and fatigue on long climbs and endurance rides. When it's time to pick up the pace, the shallow PPA (Progressive Parabolic Action) drops allow for a quick and seamless transition to a more aerodynamic and aggressive riding position. This innovative drop shape ensures continuous and safe control, allowing for multiple hand positions within the drop itself, giving you the confidence to tackle fast descents and sharp corners with precision.Lightweight Strength for Peak PerformanceConstructed from a high-quality, double-butted 6061 T6 Aluminum alloy, the VAI handlebar strikes an ideal balance between strength, stiffness, and low weight. The double-butting process strategically removes material from low-stress areas while reinforcing critical zones, ensuring robust durability without any unnecessary grams. This results in a responsive and lively feel, translating more of your power directly into forward motion while effectively dampening road vibrations for a smoother ride. Finished in a sleek, sandblasted black anodization, the VAI not only performs exceptionally but also adds a touch of classic Italian style to any road bike.Main Features:* Ergonomic Top Section: A flattened top profile provides a comfortable resting place for your hands, reducing fatigue on longer journeys.* PPA (Progressive Parabolic Action) Drops: A shallow, continuous curve drop design allows for easy access to brake levers and multiple comfortable hand positions for enhanced control.* High-Strength Aluminum Construction: Built with 6061 T6 double-butted aluminum alloy for an optimal blend of stiffness, durability, and light weight.* Versatile Rider Profile: Engineered to satisfy both endurance riders seeking comfort and competitive cyclists needing an aggressive, race-ready position.* Modern Clamp Standard: Features a 31.8 mm clamp
