What to bear in mind with aero bars on SCOTT triathlon bikes and
SCOTT time trial machines
In triathlon sport and time trial, where a particularly aerodynamic seating posi-
tion is important, so-called aero bars (e) are commonly used. With these aero
models the shifters are often positioned at the handlebar ends, the brake levers
at the ends of bull-horn handlebars.
When you ride with your back in a horizontal position, the brake levers are out
of reach and the reaction time is longer, which makes your stopping distance
longer. For this reason it is very important to anticipate problems when riding.
Within certain limits the position of the handlebars can be adjusted according
to your personal preferences. That means that the straight part of the aero bars
should point downwards or upwards to an only minor degree. The basic handle-
bars should be parallel to the ground or point slightly upwards. Make sure your
forearms are always comfortably rested, i.e. your elbows should project beyond
the armrests a little towards the rear (f). Bring the armrests in a position which
allow you to breathe freely.
WARNING
Note that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, while riding
with the hands on the top handlebars or in aerodynamic position. The brake
levers are not always within easy reach.
SCOTT triathlon bikes and SCOTT time trial machines have specific riding
characteristics. Make yourself familiar with your new SCOTT triathlon bike
or with your new SCOTT time trial machine in an unfrequented area and
approach the riding characteristics step by step.
