NewTipe N1 Full-Custom Aero Bar
One rider.
One bar.
Developed from the rider's own needs: 1:1 body scanning and 3D modeling deliver the best geometry that still complies with UCI rules, without trading away comfort. Every part is titanium 3D-printed.
Full Custom
It starts with your body data, not with a stock size
N1 is NewTipe's full-custom aero bar. The process begins with a 3D scan of the forearms and part of the torso: we capture the rider's real geometry, talk through requirements, issue a custom proposal, then print a first sample and test it on the trainer to collect feedback before adjusting again.
Only once the geometry converges do we move to production. The body is printed in one piece of titanium, aerodynamically optimised around the actual arm shape. Two forms are offered: Aero for maximum drag reduction and a stable hold, Fether for more comfort, less weight and more safety. Three finishes: Gloss Black, Matte Black and Raw Ti.
The bar has been validated in wind-tunnel testing, CFD simulation of arms and head, and real races — Asian Games, Olympic Games, World Championships and the University World Cup.
Process
How one bar gets made
Six steps from first conversation to delivery. Data capture, posture analysis, the first sample and the follow-up are all included in the custom service.
Frame and form
We confirm the frame interface, the intended use (time trial or triathlon) and whether UCI rules apply — the boundaries first.
Data capture
A 3D scan of the forearms and part of the torso, combined with posture analysis, builds a 1:1 model of your body.
Proposal and modelling
A geometry proposal is issued from that data, modelled as Aero or Fether, with the reasoning behind every trade-off spelled out.
First sample (included)
A sample is printed and ridden on the trainer, so feedback comes from your arms and shoulders rather than from a drawing.
Adjust and produce
Once the geometry converges it goes to production: one-piece titanium 3D print, then surface finishing and colour.
Delivery and follow-up
The complete bar ships with all accessories; we keep tracking your data afterwards and follow up under the warranty terms.
Standard lead time is six months; in practice it is often shorter. Your slot is confirmed in writing when production is scheduled.

Highlights
Why this bar
One-off geometry
Every N1 is derived from a single rider's scan data — no stock sizes, no compromises on reach, stack or arm angle.
Titanium, printed
A one-piece titanium body gives the freedom to optimise around the arm while keeping the stiffness a time-trial front end needs.
Race-proven
Wind tunnel, CFD and podiums at the Asian Games, Olympics, World Championships and University World Cup.
Details
Forms & finishes
Two forms and three surface finishes. The form is fixed during modeling, the finish is applied after forming — both are settled when the proposal is confirmed.
FormShape
Close to the aerodynamic limit, with a more stable hold. High forearm contact — for riders focused on time trials and triathlon, where the upper body has to stay still for long stretches.
More comfortable, lighter and safer. A gentler rise through the extensions suits rough roads and riders who change hand positions often, and anyone using a one-piece aero bar for the first time.
FinishColour
Gloss Black reflects the curves of the titanium; Matte Black suppresses the reflections for a finer feel; Raw Ti keeps the natural metal finish with no coating.
Forms shown here are model references; the delivered part is final. Form and finish are settled together when the proposal is confirmed.
Compatibility

N1 shares its frame-interface system with C1, and each interface part is designed from that frame's data. This is the first-batch list, kept in step with the C1 page.

| Colnago TT1 | 2023 | Fitted |

Every custom order starts by confirming your frame and interface. If your model is not listed, send the year and a photo of the front end and we will assess it.

Three numbers
Price: N1 is quoted per configuration — every bar is built around one rider and one frame, so there is no list price. Send your data and requirements and we return a written quote covering all parts and services.
FAQ
Common questions
How long does it take?
Standard lead time is six months from confirmed proposal, though most builds finish sooner. The exact date is set when production is scheduled.
Can the process be done remotely?
Yes. Data capture can be arranged locally or guided remotely with a scanning partner; the proposal, modelling and review all happen online. The first sample is shipped to you for on-bike testing.
N1, X1 or C1?
N1 is full custom, one-piece titanium, quoted per configuration — the geometry is built around one rider. X1 is semi-custom titanium from $1,999, covering roughly nine out of ten riders with four extension sizes and four grips. C1 is modular carbon at $1,099, covering many frames through conversion spacers. Choose N1 for the closest possible fit, X1 for titanium on a budget, C1 for a first aero bar.
