Each riser is forged and machined from alloy and fastened with marine-grade steel bolts so the stack stays secure under load and in wet conditions. Wind-tunnel testing by Profile Design indicates that raising armrest stack with risers, rather than adding stem spacers, can cut overall drag—making risers a performance-conscious way to change stack height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this riser kit change my riding position?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising the armrest stack by 40mm moves your forearms and torso upward relative to the front wheel, reducing flex and strain in the neck and shoulders for many riders. Small, dedicated spacers like this kit let you make targeted changes without altering stem angle or reach. The result is a more consistent, repeatable fit specific to your aerobar model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed 40mm vertical increase designed for Profile Design aerobars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with Sonic Ergo, Supersonic Ergo, T+ Carbon and T+ Aluminium series\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChanges stack without modifying stem or headset spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the riser kit affect aerodynamics and speed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing risers to raise the armrest stack typically preserves a cleaner airflow around the headset compared with adding steerer-tube spacers below the stem. Profile Design’s testing shows stacking at the armrest reduces drag penalties versus moving the stem. That said, overall aerodynamics depend on body position and equipment combination, so changes are best evaluated with self-testing or professional fit analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to minimize added drag compared with stem spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile keeps frontal area low\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with compatible aerobars for optimal results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and hardware are used for durability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach riser in this kit is forged and machined from lightweight alloy for a strong, fatigue-resistant part that keeps weight down.

It’s useful when adjusting fit after coaching or bike fit sessions, when shifting from shorter to longer rides, or when trying to reduce neck and shoulder strain without changing stem geometry. Install with proper torque and verify compatibility with your specific Profile Design aerobar model before riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the 40mm riser compatible with my T+ Carbon aerobars?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
