TAVELO RISE HANDLEBAR

The TAVELO RISE (also called the AVRO RISE) is a fully integrated carbon cockpit designed to achieve a higher, more comfortable riding position without sacrificing aerodynamic efficiency. It achieves this through a 20mm rise at the stem, providing extra stack height while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

Here is a quick overview of its key aspects:

• Design: A one-piece carbon bar and stem with a -10° stem angle and a neat 20mm rise at the center, providing extra stack without spacers.

• Compatibility: Designed for a 1 1/4" (OD2) steerer tube (usually comes with an adapter for 1 1/8" systems) and only compatible with electronic groupsets due to limited internal cable space.

• Weight: Claimed weight of 280 g (based on a 380mm width, 110mm stem model), though total system weight may increase to ~300 g when an adapter is used.

• Price: The AVRO RISE is typically priced at approximately $350.00.

🧐 User Feedback & Community Insights

The TAVELO RISE has generated discussion among weight weenies, with both praise and critique:

Pros

• Lightweight: At approximately 280g (before the adapter), it is considered a very competitive weight for an integrated aero cockpit.

• Aerodynamics & Aesthetics: The internal cable routing and sleek profile contribute to a clean front-end and reduced drag.

• Narrow Widths: The availability of a 34cm width is a big plus for riders with smaller frames or for those looking to optimize their aero position.

Cons

• Hood Transition: The most common critique is the "poor hood-to-bar transition." The design creates a slight step at the shifters, which can be uncomfortable for some riders.

• Mechanical Incompatibility: The bar cannot fit mechanical shift cables; it is strictly for electronic groupsets.

• Steerer Adapter Needed: The native 1 1/4" interface adds weight and complexity when adapting to a more common 1 1/8" steerer.

• Reach Confusion: While the official chart lists a 75mm reach, user measurements suggest it may feel shorter, closer to 73-78mm.

🔧 Compatibility & Setup

• Steerer Tube: It has a 1 1/4" (OD2) clamp but generally comes with an adapter that makes it compatible with 1 1/8" steerer tubes.

• Groupsets: You can only use electronic groupsets with this bar. The internal channels are too narrow to accommodate the four cables needed for a mechanical setup.

• Frame Fit: If you have a specific frame in mind, it's a good idea to check with the retailer, as integrated cockpits can be frame- and headset-specific.
