The Syncros TR 1.0 is constructed of 7050 aluminum with a unidirectional carbon exoskeleton. This creates a perfect balance of strength, stiffness, and weight. The four bolt face plate design allows for better stress distribution while also lower the clamping force needed to hold the bar. A nice feature for carbon bars that have lower torque ratings. The stem is available in a range of reaches and either 6 or 17 degrees of rise.
