MORF TriFold aero bars
MORF Technology TriFold Bar is an ingenious concept that lets you ride in both the aero bar and upright brake position without ever having to take your hands off the grips, as you would usually need to do when going from being on the aero extensions to your base bar for braking and back into the aero position.
It works by incorporating a double hinge into the base bar/aero bar that can be unlocked with small levers.
Benefits are obvious: There is no base bar to stand in the wind while in the aero position, hands near brake levers and shift levers at all times, and apparently a faster and safer switch from aero position to base bar position back.
Professional Triathlete Antony Costes is known to ride them.
The price is USD 999, and they are currently taking pre-orders. I have placed a preorder for myself, but not yet heard back from them (Update Feb 2021: I have received the MORF bars and installed them on my TT bike. I am not posting a full review here, but anyone interested in the bars can comment or mail me, and I’ll reply. Generally speaking, it took me one ride to get used to them, and now they feel great. The greatest benefit is the ability to brake while in the extensions).
