Avian Falcon II Chinese Carbon integrated handlebar review, aero version of Canary

[@felixjackson2670]

I have a set of same bar/stem combo. Branded Kovelo. Perfect. Been on my titanium road bike for past year. Cost me €86. Very happy with them.

Dope set of bars. I have the Falcon II's on my Ostro VAM. I've been enjoying them so far, 🙂 Solid Video and I'd be interested in seeing a long term review. #RobbArmstrong

Hey Robb thanks for taking the time to write, yes I’ll be doing a long term review for these for sure, also some further details about installation and cable routing too which I really like about these bars! Here come the Chinese! Look out western brands!

[@filipmalecki]

Sweet, I'll also go for the Falcon II. How long did you wait for the delivery?

[@nightridercycling]

Approximately 2 weeks total from ordering to receiving it

Hi is it for 28.6 mm steerer ?

[@nightridercycling]

Yes, I believe (but can’t remember) that you can request for oversize steerer models

If aero is your priority, why all the junk fitted to the bars?

[@nightridercycling]

@@Once-a-fatman-nownormal aero isn’t my priority, I meant I chose stronger aero bars over round lighter bars. The “junk” is a bike computer and a Cycliq 12 Sport camera light. Between that is a small front flasher. I train mainly at night so do you propose I go computer less and no lights?

What bike is that? Cervelo r5?

[@nightridercycling]

@@Eirikkinserdal yes, last of the rim brake R5 limited edition frameset colourway

[@Eirikkinserdal]

easy to route through the avians? i see you have etap. i was wondering if it could fit mechanical?

[@nightridercycling]

@ easy for electronic (only one cable) but there should be enough room for 2, it will be a tight squeeze but I’m pretty sure mechanical shifting for any integrated handlebar will be a tight squeeze at best?

[@alanngkwanyein]

That is carbon that came with the handlebars

[@nightridercycling]

Not sure what you mean? The handlebars are carbon

[@alanngkwanyein]

@ the cycling computer mount that came with the handle bar is made of carbon.

[@nightridercycling]

It looks like carbon but I don’t think it is! Plastic coated in carbon? I bought a cheap Aliexpress one that is actually carbon and it’s much lighter and not as flexible
