About this product
This carbon drop bar is designed for external routing, suitable for a range of bikes including racing, road, city, and time trial/triathlon bikes. Made from carbon fiber, it features a 31.8mm clamp diameter and is available in multiple widths (400/420/440mm).

Our take
For riders seeking a lightweight carbon drop bar, this RXL SL offering is a solid choice, especially given its price point. The carbon fiber construction results in a remarkably low weight, which is excellent for climbing and overall bike responsiveness. While it uses external cable routing, which isn't as sleek as internal, it simplifies installation and maintenance. The range of widths (400/420/440mm) allows for a custom fit, catering to different rider preferences. It’s a versatile option for various bike types, though competitive racers might prefer internal routing for aerodynamics.
