DRV AEROa 105 Drop Bar

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This bar stands out for riders on modern road frames. The DRiVe 105 position feels noticeably more natural in the drops, and the flare adds control without going extreme. It’s aero, stiff under load, and clip-on compatible for versatile builds."

The DRV AEROa 105 Drop Bar from Profile Design represents a progressive approach to road cockpit geometry. Engineered from 6061-T6 aluminum, the bar features a truncated airfoil shaping that reduces aerodynamic drag while maintaining torsional stiffness for responsive sprinting and precise steering input.

At the core of its design is the DRiVe (Drop Reach Variant) metric, measured along a 73° line from the bar bore to pinpoint the most powerful and instinctive hand position in the drops. With a DRiVe value of 105mm, the bar reclaims key positions often lost on modern frame geometries. A 7° ramp angle enhances comfort on the hoods, while the 4° drop outsweep provides added wrist clearance and stability during high-speed efforts.

Available in widths from 36 to 42cm and reach options of 70, 75, or 80mm, the DRV AEROa 105 enables precise rider fit. A 31.8mm clamp diameter with a 100mm-wide center section supports clip-on aerobar compatibility, and internal routing accommodates both mechanical and Di2 drivetrains. Ideal for performance road and aero-focused builds, this handlebar delivers modern ergonomics, aerodynamic efficiency, and uncompromising control.
