PRO introduces the Vibe Sprint “Mark Cavendish Star Series” handlebar and stem: a no-compromise cockpit for the most demanding and victorious sprinter in the peloton. Cavendish (Team HTC-Columbia) is very particular about the technical details of his bike and the bar and stem are a major focus in this. Besides the functionality, Mark was also very keen on the final design of “his” cockpit. After all, the products are bearing his name…

Stem

The stem-body is of a unidirectional carbon in monocoque design for an ultimate rigidity and responsiveness. Together with the integrated CNC alloy top- and frontcap this stem definitely has the X-factor! The rigidity of this stem is almost double compared to a regular PRO Vibe 7S stem. The stem will be available in 105, 120 and 135mm lengths. Weight will be from 170 grams.

Handlebar

The bar will be produced of a reinforced alloy, with an internally splined construction, instead of carbon which can be unpredictable after a crash. By adding four splines in the already oversized top-section of the bar, the rigidity is increased with 9% compared to a regular PRO Vibe 7S handlebar. You can imagine that even 1% can be decisive in a shoulder-to-shoulder sprint at 70kmph. This handlebar will exclusively be available in an anatomic bend, in three widths: 40, 42 and 44 cm.
Weight will be from 295 grams.

Both the stems and handlebars will be separately available at your local PRO dealer
from the first week of June 2010.
