{"product_id":"controltech-cougar-fl4-alloy-aero-handlebar","title":"Controltech Cougar FL4 Alloy Aero Handlebar","description":"\u003cp\u003eControltech Cougar FL4 Alloy Aero Handlebar is a road drop bar for riders who want an aero-oriented cockpit without moving to carbon. It is intended for road racing and sportive riding, with shaping aimed at combining aerodynamic efficiency, comfort and control. Within Controltech's Cougar line, it sits above the simpler Alloy Ergo option and below the dearer FL4 Carbon bar. The key distinction is its AL6061-T6 alloy construction paired with the aero-focused top section, making it the choice for riders who want the Cougar aero layout while staying with an alloy bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl.\u003c\/b\u003e The bar's shape is intended to give riders a stable platform when applying power, while the triangular lower section is designed to improve hand contact and steering feel in the drops. The outward flare also creates a slightly more natural position at the lower grip. For fast road riding, the flattened, flared top profile is intended to reduce aerodynamic drag compared with a conventional round-top layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck Cockpit Compatibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a standard road drop handlebar and must be paired with a compatible stem clamp and correctly positioned brake-shift levers. It also supports Shimano Di2 junction-box integration, which can help keep an electronic drivetrain installation tidier. Riders changing from another bar should compare the published reach and drop with their current setup before installation, as those dimensions affect lever position and overall cockpit feel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Controltech","offers":[{"title":"380mm","offer_id":44827540684961,"sku":"1RA527DB68-SB38H303E","price":9490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"400mm","offer_id":43053077758113,"sku":"RA-527W400","price":11499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"420mm","offer_id":43053077790881,"sku":"RA-527W420","price":11499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5869\/2257\/products\/controltech-cougar-fl4-alloy-handlebar-the-bike-affair-658671.jpg?v=1710593978","url":"https:\/\/www.thebikeaffair.com\/products\/controltech-cougar-fl4-alloy-aero-handlebar","provider":"The Bike Affair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
