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.
