The handlebars add drag but together with the rider make it faster, that's what is claimed:

Second post well done, it's often half a page or more before someone trots that one out.

The handlebar or the bike? They are suggesting their handlebars make it faster not the bike. When you think about it, panniers on handlebars should not be a problem. Seen people leaving Tescos with shopping bags on the end of their handle bars. /s

Yaw angles. What a load.

Bike looks nice though.

Everyone knows this is the best solution :

It’s blue. Everyone know when you see blue shift you are gaining on the bike ahead. I proclaim I’d catch that on my butchers bike with a drag increasing dog on the front.

I’d test ride it for them, they’d know all about drag after that!

I wouldn't ride that if it was gifted to me, what an ugly bike.

Well I’m convinced, that’s the new pub-bike sorted....

If you mount a pint above the stem. That’s even more drag to make your pub bike faster

Must be because I'm an old guy brought up on skinny tubed frames, we need a poll.

I wonder if the Ribble Weldtite team will use them for racing, Matt Gibson, a local Warrington rider is on the team.

They're bikes for racing, Matt Gibson won the Tour Series at round one men's race at Guisborough. The Ribble Weldtite team are good.
