"However, this updated fit also incorporates anti-fatigue features to reduce hand fatigue. The updated oval tops are designed to ease palm pressure, and a redesigned D-shape reduces hand pressure while increasing the surface area on the tops by 12%. For those who like a little extra for the sprint, a newly updated four-degree flare helps wrists fall into a natural, neutral angle on the bars. Plus, it feels better when you're sprinting (at least in my opinion)."
"Compared to the Rapide one-piece cockpit, the new layup claims 28.3% more damping, resulting in a quieter ride and reduced fatigue on long climbs or rough descents. The update includes some practical mechanical enhancements, such as updated internal cable routing for an ultra-clean silhouette and seamless integration into existing specialized frames. Importantly, it's still compatible with traditional bar-and-stem setups, so riders don't have to commit to proprietary integration fully."
Roval's Alpinist Cockpit II targets climbers who value both lightweight components and comfort. The one-piece cockpit weighs just 270 grams (400x100) and uses updated fit and shaping informed by over 100,000 Body Geometry fits. Ergonomic changes include oval tops to ease palm pressure, a redesigned D-shape that increases top surface area by 12% while reducing hand pressure, and a four-degree flare to promote a natural wrist angle and improved sprint feel. A new layup offers 28.3% more damping for a quieter ride and reduced fatigue. Mechanical refinements include internal cable routing and continued compatibility with traditional bar-and-stem setups. Sizes cover multiple widths and reaches.
