I wouldn't say "quite" different, but a little bit different for sure. The cable transitions kit pieces definitely look different from current, and the bar top wings do look a little less angular, with more gradual forward sweep. Interesting, but hard to say if this is just an evolution of the Aerofly or signals an actual re-birth of the Venge, (re)Venge? Lol

According to another thread bars will be rebranded as Roval but no other changes are planned.

Did they get rid of the knobby tops? Maybe because aero position was banned?

That looks same to me. Just doesn't have the plastic parts that go between the bar and stem to hide cables like pmprego mentioned.

No, look at the second photo, it does have the plastic clips that hide the cables, but they look to be different shape from the current clips.

Aerofly II will be different from new Roval Aero bar that comes out this year. Reach and drop (5mm) are different on the new handlebar (Pro's want to sit deeper) and the top of the new bar looks slightly narrower to fit smaller hands better. In the Tarmac S-works Sl7 topic this is already mentioned, but the youtube clip is removed by youtube.

Isn't reach and drop identical to that of the Aerofly II in 380mm width?
Maybe the Roval Rapide Bar specs are also based on a 380mm width.

GC Performance on YouTube had video about the new bars, but I can’t find it. If I remember correctly the new bars should be 10-20g lighter in 42cm and indeed are roval branded.

video is removed or made private for some reason. Maybe Specialized did not want us to know yet?
