Have anyone of you guys tried this? And if so - how is it?

I tried reaching out, but I got no answer from them (tried Yushin aswell). Any tips on how I can actually buy it?

Nice of you! Thank you. But I’m in need of a 40 cm :)

How come you not using it? Remember what you paid for it?

I got it with one of the Yishun frames (it's the yishun err 'version', aka same handlebar, whether it's same mold or same production idk). I was planning to use the speeder bars all along (which you could also consider if you like a more flared bar), so opted to get this frame with the hb058/hbr12 to replace the alu rose 36cm bars on my partner's bike, but I just never got around to it, so they're just collecting dust.

IIRC the price is something like USD60 or something and shipping will be similar to that worldwide.

I'd say the speeder bars seem more 'beefy' that the hb058 . Seem stiffer in hand and the top aerofoil-ish section is wider. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but so far I've loved the speeder bar and all the yishun frames we have are fantastic. We have a whole junior team racing on them, so I'd say the same quality would be true for the handlebars.

Hopefully that helps.

It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike.
