Seen this one several times. Anyone brave enough to test it yet?

I know Darimo Ellipse is the lightest bar available, but at 5 times the price and both being way too light for my taste I am not brave enough to try neither
Just thought I would share, always happy to hear your opinions and discussion <3

I'd be all over that if it came in 380mm C-C. Oddly it does show that option in the dimensions image.

Shape looks like an ergonova copy, with slightly aero tops and flare. Some of the ergonova were around 180g on the scales, so a claimed weight of 150 doesn't sound completely impossible

Looks like it has unusual ends that are thinner than usual but then flare out at the end to accommodate a normal bar end plug. The drops must be very flexible to be such a low weight and be thinner (lesser diameter) than normal drops

I see the whole WW:ism as funny. However, the components that start to flex more than i prefer isn't really ideal.
You also have Haero Carbon which is probably stiffer than Darimo. My 44 size was/ is 153 grams.
44 size is 41.6 cm C-C over hoods. 42 size bar is 39.6cm C-C over hoods aso.

Would love to see their take on an integrated aero bar, though I imagine the flex will be crazy. Maybe not a terrible thing for ride quality though

I did take the plunge and ordered them.
157.1g on the scales for 40cm c-c.
A few blemishes and voids in the surface layer of carbon but looks predominantly superficial. Feels pretty stiff in my hands but will try to get photos and it mounted this weekend and tested.

They don't exist yet... Pro released media pictures in September last year and was supposed to be available Q1 but no bar to be seen... Not even R2 bike has a picture yet.

Word on the street is in store in North America by May.

They were at the Velofollies show last week for the physical launch, the stem looks cool too.

I'm super interested in these if the quality is good, getting harder to find 40cm bars in stock at a reasonable price

Prime primavera X-light is in the ballpark. I've used mine whole summer and autumn last year. No complaints.
