{"product_id":"metron-tfa-evo-basebar-w-o-bridge","title":"Vision Metron TFA EVO Basebar w\/o Bridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Metron TFA EVO base bar introduces a mono-riser architecture, replacing the dual-stack riser system used on the original TFA with a single, central pillar. The change came out of extensive CFD simulation and wind tunnel testing aimed at reducing frontal surface area and turbulence around the cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat cleaner airflow is aimed squarely at time trial and triathlon racing, where every watt saved at the front of the bike matters over a sustained effort.
