500g, so not exactly lightweight. Still. I can see the attraction.

500g seems reasnoble if it means you can omit having a bag holder and just strap it on?

Not sure what the point of the "aero" designation is, the guy who won the national road bike tt title reckons if you can hold the position on the hoods its very marginal compared to a full on tt bike position, just harder to hold. And without arm rests getting central isnt going to be any more comfortable?

And if you wanted comfort and an aero position on a gravel bike then why not go the whole way and fit tt bars and a redshift seatpost.

I like :-bd personally I’d want a wider option but 500g is good, if you look at the weight of some aero bars it’s a bargain. If you can ditch the harness (never needed one with Jones bars) then they are positively feather weight!

Potentially much stiffer bars. No real aero advantage to be had but could be useful for luggage. I've thought about an extension like that so a zipped / roll top pocket can hang off the front and a small kit roll goes behind it.
