Designed specifically for compatibility with Profile Design T+ Carbon, T+ Aluminum and Sonic Ergo 35a systems, the kit replaces the bracket stack to lift both armrests and extensions together so your wrist angle and reach remain consistent. It’s a straightforward mechanical solution when you want to fine-tune position for power, comfort, or aerodynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much height does the 50mm riser add and how does it affect fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50mm bracket riser increases the vertical position of the armrests and extensions by 50 millimeters from the original bracket mounting plane, giving substantial clearance for riders who need a higher cockpit. Increasing height shifts torso angle and can relieve shoulder strain or enable a more efficient breathing posture when combined with proper bike fit adjustments. Because the kit raises both pads and extensions as one unit, hand and wrist alignment stay predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdds a fixed 50mm vertical lift for the compatible armrest systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains pad-to-extension geometry to protect wrist comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with existing clamps and bolts included for the kit size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot intended for Carbon Style handlebars—check compatibility first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this riser kit work with my T+ Carbon or T+ Aluminum aerobars?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes—this riser is engineered to interface directly with Profile Design T+ Carbon, T+ Aluminum, and Sonic Ergo 35a armrest platforms. The kit includes the specific riser pieces and hardware sized for the 50mm upgrade so installation swaps into the existing clamp assembly. Always confirm your current armrest model before purchasing to avoid mismatched parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible models: T+ Carbon series, T+ Aluminum series, Sonic Ergo 35a.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes risers and bolts tailored to the 50mm configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple replacement of the bracket stack—no special tools beyond standard hex wrenches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not use with Carbon Style systems; verify model labeling on your bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow difficult is installation and what tools are required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic bike maintenance: remove the existing bracket stack, install the riser pieces, torque the supplied bolts, and double-check alignment. No frame drilling or permanent modification is needed. If you’re unsure, a local bike shop can fit it quickly during a standard cockpit adjustment session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTypical tools: hex keys\/Allen wrenches and a torque wrench for proper bolt tightness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation swaps the bracket assembly—takes 15–30 minutes for an experienced mechanic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes matching hardware sized for the 50mm riser to ensure secure mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended: verify final clearance for cables and accessories after fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill raising the bars change my handling or comfort on longer rides?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising the armrests alters your body geometry, which can improve shoulder and neck comfort for many riders by reducing extreme torso flex. It can also change weight distribution and steering feel slightly, so plan a controlled test ride and make small iterative changes. Pairing the riser with a professional bike fit helps you balance aerodynamics, power position, and comfort for endurance efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMay reduce shoulder strain by opening the torso angle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan influence weight over the front wheel—test carefully after installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest used as part of a comprehensive fit adjustment rather than a standalone fix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides a predictable, modular way to try taller positions without swapping bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: cyclists and triathletes using Profile Design T+ Carbon, T+ Aluminum, or Sonic Ergo 35a aerobars who need a substantial, reliable vertical adjustment without replacing their entire cockpit. Ideal for riders with longer torsos, those seeking reduced shoulder compression, or athletes experimenting with position changes for endurance or time-trial performance. Avoid this kit if your setup uses Carbon Style armrests; otherwise it’s a practical, bolt-on way to tailor fit and comfort.\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 50mm riser compatible with Carbon Style armrests?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This riser is not recommended for use with Carbon Style armrests; check compatibility with T+ Carbon, T+ Aluminum, or Sonic Ergo 35a.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the kit include all needed bolts for installation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
