Generally speaking, Asian riders tend to have shorter humerus, which translates to shorter reach on the bike setup. Having less reach on the handlebars also allows for running slightly longer stems to improve aesthetics.
Painted sections are recommended mounting position for shifters, but shifters can be mounted beyond painted area without issue. Install the bars and ensure bar-ends are horizontal for a neutral position.
At neutral position, RX01 handlebars provides a higher stack at the shifters since the curve doesn’t “dip down”. This helps reducing spacers needed below the stem to achieve same effective stack height.

To accommodate internal cable routing, sacrifice has be made in terms of fiber continuity and structural integrity. Making up for lost strength from the openings requires extra material.
Our design put strength and weight ahead of cable integration, trading some aesthetics for much better performance.

Rider safety is our top priority, especially with lightweight models.
