I also like how the base angles downward ever-so-slightly (as opposed to making you choose between either straight across or angled steeply downward). The outer grips are also comfortable for riding since they&#8217;re fat &amp; sort of hand-shaped.<\/p>\n<p>The clip-on extensions are infinitely adjustable and the bend is just right to keep your wrists comfortable. I&#8217;ve also sweated on the elbow pads like crazy and they&#8217;ve yet to become stinky :)<\/p>\n<p>The SRAM shifters &amp; brake levers are nice, and the carbon ties everything together. The shifters are a new style that don&#8217;t rotate as far down as the current style, making it easier to pull the lever back up if it&#8217;s ever all the way down.<\/p>\n<p>The verdict- get it now!
