Segment 01
Grips · your hold
Nylon parts in four holds — wedge, hook, horizontal and traditional. Chosen by how you grip; the traditional grip also takes direct-mount 22 mm shift buttons.
NewTipe X1 Highly Integrated Semi-Custom Aero Bar
Nine out of ten riders
don't need to settle.
A four-segment, highly integrated semi-custom aero bar: the grips set your hold, the extensions set your length, and the pads are shaped to your Fitting data.
Once the extension size is chosen it stays with you — when your position changes, only the pads are remade.
Price $1,999
(Raw Ti set · all four segments included · computer mount included · prices exclude shipping)
X1 does not build one bar per rider. It splits the bar into four segments: the grips set your hold, the extensions set your arm length, the armrests set your support, and the pads set your fit. Each segment can be changed on its own — no need to replace the whole bar.
Based on more than a hundred measured arm and grip datasets, this four-segment combination gives roughly nine out of ten riders a close-to-perfect fit — faster than full custom, closer than off-the-shelf.
Semi Custom
Covering most bodies with combinations
X1 does not build one bar per rider; it separates the variables into four segments. Grips come in four nylon types by how you hold the bar; extensions come in four lengths by arm size; armrests come in carbon, nylon or aluminium; pads are made to your Fitting data.
Based on more than a hundred real arm and grip datasets, this combination gives roughly nine out of ten athletes a comfortable, well-fitted position — faster than full custom, closer than off-the-shelf.
The main body is titanium 3D-printed, with carbon and nylon parts as complements to balance weight, stiffness and cost. The bar is wind-tunnel and CFD validated and raced by pro teams and at international events.
Four Segments
Four segments, each with one job
X1 uses a four-segment structure: the first two set your dimensions, the last two set your position.
Segment 02
Extensions · your length
Titanium 3D-printed, four sizes by arm length. This segment sets the bar's length and stiffness, and stays with you once chosen.
Segment 03
Armrests · your support
Three materials (carbon / nylon / aluminium) set the forearm contact and lateral wrap. S / M / L fit different arm widths.
Segment 04
Pads · your position
Made to your Fitting data. Reach, stack, tilt and armrest spacing all land here; when your position changes, only these are remade.
Selection order: choose the extension size from your arm length → pick the grip that matches how you hold the bar → select the armrest material and size → finish with pads made from your Fitting data. The first three are decided once; the pads can be remade at any time.
Segment 01 · Grips
Four grips
Choose by how you hold the bar. All four grips are nylon-printed; the difference is where your fingers land.
Wedge
Sits in the palm for the most stable hold. Fingers rest on the angled front edge, so the hand is less likely to slip over long efforts.
Hook
A hook at the front lets you lock in and pull. More secure during sprints and out-of-saddle efforts, without pressing the forearms into the bar.
Horizontal
The widest contact surface gives the palm more lateral room. Suits riders with larger hands or those who push sideways.
Traditional
A round-tube hold, closest to a conventional aero bar. The only one of the four that takes direct-mount 22 mm shift buttons.
Not sure which one? Send us a photo of your grip or describe how you hold the bar — we'll recommend based on your position, not on stock.
Shifting compatibility: the traditional grip supports 22 mm direct-mount buttons such as Shimano 9160; the other three support Shimano SW-R9150 or SRAM Blips. Buttons are not included with X1 and can be purchased separately.

FAQ
Common questions
The questions riders ask most about fit, compatibility and price.
What does “four segments” actually mean?
The bar is split into four parts, each chosen and replaced on its own: Segment 01, the grips, set how you hold the bar (four holds). Segment 02, the extensions, set length and stiffness (four sizes). Segment 03, the armrests, carry your forearms (three materials). Segment 04, the pads, are machined to your Fitting data. The first three usually stay with you; the pads are the part that gets remade when your position changes.
X1, N1 or C1?
If the geometry has to be built around one rider only, take N1 — full custom, one-piece titanium, quoted per configuration. If you want titanium and semi-custom fit at a lower price, take X1 from $1,999. If this is your first aero bar and frame compatibility matters most, take C1 at $1,099. All three share NewTipe's proven competition geometry.
Do I need a new bar when my position changes?
No. Once the extension size is chosen it stays with you. When your position changes, only the Segment 04 pads are remade to the new Fitting data; grips, extensions and armrests carry over.
How do I pick the extension size?
Four sizes, graded by arm length rather than frame size. Send us your measurements before ordering — the more accurate the data, the closer the final geometry sits to your actual position.
Which grip should I choose?
Pick by how you hold the bar, not by price. Wedge is the most stable, hook lets you wrap your fingers, horizontal gives the palm lateral room, and traditional is a round-tube hold. If your shifting uses 22 mm direct-mount buttons, only the traditional grip takes them without adapters.
What is the difference between the three armrest materials?
Carbon comes in one size and adapts through three pad thicknesses — light and stiff. Nylon comes in S / M / L and is the most adaptable. Aluminium is the special size, extended 25 mm rearward for riders with long forearms or a rearward grip position.
What does $1,999 include? What about buttons and a computer mount?
All four segments: grips, extensions, armrests and pads, plus a computer mount. Shift buttons are not included and can be added separately. An oversized computer may affect the mount design, so please talk to us before ordering. The Speed Black set is $2,099 with the same contents. Prices exclude shipping.
