Specialized Roval Rapide Road Cockpit (Carbon/Black) (135mm) (40cm)

Im going to hit a few point.

1. Its a very great looking bar, its not 600 for just the bar, but also with the mount accessories.

2. It does feel faster vs round bar and im an amateur. Im trying to be as true to this review but i did gain 1-3 mph vs the round bar.

3. If you love staring down at your computer and having it at a upper bend. Most will hate this bar because it non adjustable. Its still readable, I mount it closer to the bar vs far from the bar and its easier for me to take a peek to make sure im at my desired cadence/watts/ whatever data i want to see.

4. If you like to climb or riding on top of the bar, it does grip better than their updated roval rapide handlebar. I had both and i seem to slip a bit easier on the handlebar vs the cockpit. The texture helps but it suck, the cockpit is slightly more grippy on the top of the bar.

5. The transition for the sl7 look weird to me. If youre more or a need to be perfect kind of person then youll hate how its not perfectly match transition. specialized couldve done something better, For the sl8, it fit seemlessly and i wish specialized did it for the SL7, like magcad. If your planning to slam it, itll fit more smoothly.

im no fan boy but specialized has some great product. I really wish cycling isnt that exspensive so we all can make upgrade or buy a upgraded bike without the wallet going aero also. But if youre looking to get hella faster, just go out and train. If youre looking to buy marginal speed, this will help save some watts for whatever youre looking to gain from it.
