Triathlon extension, long-distance comfort
The extensions are also an equipment which makes it possible to improve the comfort of the cyclist and/or triathlete during the long distances, as it isn't always easy to keep the same position on a road handlebar. Some are adjustable in length and rotation. They're often adjustable in length and width though.
Some models are approved by the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale).
Tip: check the diameter of your handlebar to order the compatible extension.
