Prime Primavera Aero?

229.2g for the 38cm

https://www.wiggle.co.uk/prime-primaver ... -handlebar

36cm is in stock, with 38cm in 2-4 weeks
Only get the Primavera if you run eTap or Di2. The drillings are really badly designed and you cant fit both the shift and brake housing through the bars. Aside from this fundamental design flaw which 100% warrants not buying them if you run mech groupsets, they are fine.
I wonder if the Primavera design has changed. My other half runs a pair of 38's with mechanical Ultegra and absolutely no problem with shift and brake cable routing. They are a few years old tho.
An updated version was released in 2021.
Do you know what else has changed on the new release?

Small changes in the shape. You can still find the old one and compare with the new one. The old one is produced by Controltech (Cougar FL4).

Yeah, the old one was the Cougar Controltech, but much cheaper (in the UK at least). Also allows tri- bars to be clipped on, which is a great feature.

Are the new bars as stiff and comfortable? Is the clamping area still wide enough for tri-bars?

I bought my bars from Wiggle in June 2022. The bar routing does not accomodate mech shifting.

I ran mechanical DA and Hoses through the Prime Primavera Bar (you need to use Aliigator iLink's) but it is doable. Since switched to DA Di2 9200 so just the hoses now.

ever mm counts. more narrow you gain 4-5 watts.

They claim that their bar is 21.4W faster than a round handlebar which is ridiculous.

At best, an aero bar will get you 4 to 6 watts at 45kph, (we're talking the bar here, not the rider position)

I mean, the chart clearly states that they used a 184cm / 75kg rider, so those 21.4w are clearly factoring in both the bar shape and the rider position.
