Yes, 25% increase in price. Now it is almost at the same price level of a Vision Metron 5D/6D with a good offer.

Finally my handlebar was delivered to Poland after a month of waiting. Luckily I purchased it before price had increased (340$).
Handlebar weights more than I expected. In size of 400x100 with computer mount it is 390g.
It fits very well with my Focus Izalco Max frameset.

It feels like it's not as stiff as my old alu-non aero-handlebar, especially in the sprinting position.
In my opinion, mount for Wahoo (ELMNT xxx) could be 1-2cm shorter

40 CM 3T Aeronova bars with my 100mm MCCK stem weight 263 grams all together. Light and not quite as aero although I'm satisfied with the set up.

390g is heavy!

That's the same as my standard -12 120mm SL7 Tarmac stem with Enve SES Aero v2 42cm bars.
SL8 S-Works Project Black - 6.29kg

Does the Focus use a D shaped steerer and route the cables through the head tube? I.e. could this bar work with similar designs that do this like the Factor Ostro with that spacer?

Without a spacer provided by either Farpsorts or the OEM, do not do this.

Right, it obviously will not work without a specialized spacer that allows the cables to route into the head tube. But that's exactly what it looks like is happening in the photo above. Hence, my question.

How heavy is the mount? I've never taken mine off to weigh it but it is quite long and a possibly a bit overbuilt.

Would this fit?
