Carbon Concord Bar

MSRP $1,200

Since the first appearance of the aero bar in the early eighties, the dream has been to reduce aerodynamic drag while increasing control and comfort. Blackwell Research’s “clean sheet” design of the Concord Aero bar is the next evolution in aero bar performance.

Wind tunnel testing is the final proof of aerodynamic efficiency. The designers at Blackwell Research have spent more than 1000 hours studying every aspect of bike and rider. The result is the most aero, ergonomically friendly and advanced aero bar ever created. Every aspect, from the patented “Wrist Relief” extensions to the patented “Multi fit Tendon Relief” elbow pads has been studied and designed for the ultimate in speed and comfort.

To make a bike fast, you have to make a bike work for you, not against you. Our wing design stabilizes the frontal air, controlling power robbing turbulence from the front of the bike. The large surface area continues to stabilize the airflow while protecting the rider’s arm from the wind. The carbon brake levers are aligned horizontally to more efficiently allow air to slip past them, while our “lower support wing” adds the ultimate in wing-bar stiffness for hill climbing. The Concord Bar is full carbon for light weight and great road shock absorption. If you’re ready to move to the next level in cycling, the Blackwell Research Concord Bar is the only option.

Performer SS Clip-On - Carbon

MSRP $170

For the times when you don’t want a full one piece front aero bar, Blackwell Research has created the ultimate clip-on aero bar. Created with full carbon and designed in the wind tunnel, the Performer SS clip-on aero bar combines amazing performance with comfort and ease of use. The patented “ wrist relief “ extensions are the same used in the Concord one piece aero bar. We then added our patented “multi size tendon relief elbow pads” and carbon holders, which allows for complete personalization of elbow pad roll angle, placement, and width, as well as, forearm angle, extension angle and extension length.

The Performer SS Clip-on Bar fits 31.6 and 26 size road bars and the reinforced extension ends allow ease and security for bar-end shifters if desired. Make your bike faster while adding comfort and reducing points: get a Blackwell Research Performer SS Clip-on Aero Bar.

Performer Clip-On - Alloy

MSRP $130

The Performer Alloy Clip-on Aero Bar offers all the comfort and ease of use as our Performer Clip-on Carbon Aero Bar; it simply uses alloy extensions and base plates instead of carbon fiber. Our patented “wrist relief” extensions will get your hands and wrists in an ergonomically friendly position, eliminating hard wrist bends. The patented “multi-fit tendon relief” pads offer you better bike control by cupping your arm without causing tendon pressure in the “tennis elbow” area. These bars are completely adjustable for custom length, width and angle while being durable and lightweight. The performer series offers great value and the comfort that allows for blazing speed.

Tension Relief Pad Kit

We designed our patented elbow pads to work on several other brands of aero bars. The value of the Tendon Relief areas and the variable cup sizing can’t be overstated. Being able to relax your shoulders on those long rides is so nice, not having the pads dig into your forearm is even nicer. Available in carbon or alloy.


Carbon Base Bar

MSRP $225

Blackwell Research has done it again by offering the latest in base bar technology. Full composite bar measuring 42cm ctr-ctr and is 15.5mm thick. The Carbon Base Bar boasts a multi-shaped wing section for improved ergonomics, strength, and increased aerodynamics. For stiffness and ultimate weight savings, we used a 31.8 center section for the stem bringing the weight down to only 222g! Full internal cable routing and fits standard brake levers.
