The aero bars allow riders to ride in an aerodynamic crouching position. The recalled aero bars are an integrated system, having a cast aluminumm centerpiece, which is attached to a handlebar, a stem and two aero bars, each approximately 15 inches long, protruding in front of the handlebar. The VisionTech logo is displayed in gold lettering against a black background on the wings of the bar. Bicycle aero bars bearing a silver and red decal on the wings with the words "Vision by Full Speed Ahead" are not included in this recall.
