canyon Hoverbars - yikes

I think it is a cool idea- I would have to ride it, but I get it.

The position is aggressive- not high and higher. The bottom part is level with the top tube. Like a modern time trial bike.

Looks like a ghetto bodge to me.

Y'all are missing the point. This is for downforce.

GLUES your front wheel to those pebbly, off-camber turns! A whole new world of traction!

I bet if someone like English made a similar design and showed it at NAHBS people would be tripping all over themselves saying how cool it is-

excellent point. same for me. this bar would actually eliminate one of my favorite hand positions.

Actually, I was thinking of the Breakaway bar:

Mounting levers to the bars is achieved via the preinstalled clamps. There’s still plenty of adjustment, so finding the right lever hood angle shouldn’t be a problem. Installing all major manufactures offerings from Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM are all compatible.

i'm not sure what you are saying, but below is what the campy shifter clamps look like. normal procedure on a stop bar is to thread them on from the bottom. the mid bar precludes this possibility. i guess you could open them up, but that might be tricky not to deform them getting around the bar.

Ugly, but very forward thinking....similar to a lauf fork. Works awesome, but not the most aesthetically appealing.

I got ten dollars that says I can predict exactly where that top bar is going to break when it does.
