Integration has become an X factor in aerodynamic considerations for bicycle design — from seatposts to brakes to electronic shifting units. As the most substantive leading feature of a bicycle, an integrated handlebar/stem unit provides 10 fold aerodynamic gains over cylinder shapes. Not only do they dramatically reduce drag, they increase front-end stiffness for a more confident riding experience. These two details come together in Black Inc’s integrated barstem.
