"Integrated cockpits used to be something you'd only find on pro bikes - now, they seem to be run of the mill for top-tier (and not so top-tier) road and gravel machines (and some mountain bikes!). But it's not just the one-piece bar/stem that makes an integrated cockpit great. It's the design, the shape, the feel, and more importantly, the ride."
"The same can be said about their newest one-piece carbon aero road bar. It looks at home on a pure aero frame and a round-tubed alloy machine - now that's versatility. CADEX says the design offers a measurable aerodynamic advantage (1.2 W at 40 kph vs. standard bar + stem) without sacrificing comfort or control. After spending most of the summer on this bar, we're starting to believe the hype."
The CADEX Aero Integrated Handlebar is a one-piece, no-bond carbon aero road bar that molds stem and bar in a single process. Claimed weight 325 g (420 × 100 mm). Shaping includes 125 mm drop and 80 mm reach. CADEX states 1.2 W aerodynamic advantage at 40 kph versus standard bar and stem while maintaining comfort and control. The construction eliminates joints and excess resin, reducing weight and dead spots, and provides a fast, direct, refined ride that suits both aero frames and round-tubed alloy machines. The design prioritizes versatility across bike types rather than exclusivity to single models.
