Why Cant You BUY What Tadej Pogačar Rides? 

I know it’s just an equipment item and to the normal 1 consumer it might be looked past but being in an industry where all I do is here customer requests for items. I get asked for this a lot. Also, towards the end of the video, I showcase all his bike parts and how cool it is to have all these boutique parts on it.

Forget the bike or components on the bike. What I'd really like to buy are Tadej's legs. Are Tadej's legs for sale?

The model pogacar is riding is the enve ses aero version of the integrated handlebar, which enve says will be released at the end of the month, according to the instagram post.

The weird thing is there is an explicit UCI rule that states all equipment used in UCI cycling races must be available to the general public within 1 year of use in professional races, and that manufacturers have to demonstrate that they are well on their way in production of that equipment (IE showing tooling, molds, marketing, etc). It doesn't seem like it's enforced at all though! Other examples are things like large chain rings that component manufacturers make for pros but never sell to the public. “Equipment shall be of a type that is sold for use by anyone practicing cycling as a sport. Any equipment in development phase and not yet available for sale (prototype) must be subject of an authorization request to the UCI equipment Unit before its use. Authorization will be granted only for equipment which is in the final stage of development and for which commercialization will take place no later than 12 months after the first use in competition. The manufacturer may request a single prolongation of the prototype status if justified by relevant reasons. When assessing a request for use of equipment which is not yet available for sale, the UCI equipment Unit will pay particular attention to safety of the equipment which will be submitted to it for authorization." Article 1.3.006

Enve measures their handlebars on the drops so the 40 is actually a 35 on the tops and 40 on the drops

Bosnia is watching you 😉 we are near Pogacar’s Slovenia 😁 Good work. Your videos are interesting.

The reason why you can’t buy this type of bar is because that’s where they put the motor #doping

Very interesting approach to the topic! Thank you for such an informative video! 🌺💚

The AR in route originally came out for the ENVE custom road bike. The POG bar is called the SES Pro Aero road 1 piece bar.

Enve's name is appropriate, I always feel a little jealous when I see someone kitted out with SES wheels and handlebars. Is it silly for us normal folk to spend the $$ on bikes, yes, but it's fun and still cheaper than other expensive hobbies like vehicles. That being said, the cost of bikes now is wild.

You can buy up here in Ontario Canada only problem its 1600 bucks way overpriced

Great choice of topic! Thank you for the fascinating video! 💖😘

i buy almost everything for aesthetics. i'm too damn slow for any other reason these days!

Simple bikers like us have Enve components. The pros have Envy components!

I’ve had an Enve aero stem for 5 years. It’s superb. You don’t need an integrated stem and bar. You need to be able to change the stem length.

Hi Grant! Why don’t you just reach out to ENVE directly to see can they answer your question?

i bet i can find that bar in aliexpress😂😂😂

It's not enve bar just the decal. Van Rysel as one piece bar made by Deda and it is available with the team bike for retail

I ride the 35-40 enve with an alu stem and I love the combo. Would choose the narrow tops/flared drops and the stiffness of the alu stem any day over other bars

they're the aero not the AR, different drop shape - that's why it's 37c-c as well, which lines up with the 42 model

In the picture he is wearing gloves. So he cannot be Tadej. 😆

I’m definitely that consumer that’s going to buy whatever the pros are riding. I’m all about the aesthetics of my bikes.

Are UCI rules only applied to the frame? I thought it was applied to all equipment including handlebars. The UCI rules I'm referring to is all equipment is available to the public. They have been running that handlebar since last year. If they not going to release that handlebar then the UCI should deem that bike illegal.

7:38 They are gravel bars, 'AR' model means 'all road'

can’t beat my $45 FSA Omega Compact 🤘🏻

Hi GC performance Super cool 😎 ride with some cool 😎 upgrades. It looks like Tedej follows GC performance to upgrade his v4rs with cool 😎 tech 🚴‍♂️👍

This is kind of common, combo bars are made by another manufacturer and are way better than Enve, so Tadej want to ride them, but he have to put Enve stickers on it because of sponsorship.

my question is whether that ENVE bar is as light and strong as Roval Rapide Cockpit I have on my Aethos along with aero 3D headset spacers which is significantly less cost and has won a lot of TdF sprints, etc.

Maybe the integrated handlebar is (still) from deda elementi? The Alanera RS? UAE was sponsored by them back in the days and maybe they still use their products, but relabeled nowadays…

Looks like a Most handlebar off of a Pinarello🤔

ENVE has been building the TEAM 1 piece bar since JAN when I took a tour of the factory. I even saw Eric Min's order of the bar being built. I was to get the bar in Mar, then April, then June........ I think they have finally started shipping some July 1

You're right. Call enve

it also use carbon-ti stem cap /w bolt, carbon-ti thru axle and a Bikone bottom bracket

I'm full Dura Ace except i use Campy rotors. Why? Simply because they're beautiful, and looks matter.

I ride the bikes the pros ride………well the bikes they rode in 2008.

Are there tests comparing performance of various rotors and pads? I'm heavy, so if something brakes notably better, I'm interested.

Shouldnt bikes be available before a race happens according to UCI?

I have a custom road and I believe my one piece combo is different from the one they are now selling. I have few photos to share, if you would like to review.

I think it also uses a weird bottom bracket from Bikone, like one piece or something like that

Salute to Joe from China Cycling and Panda Podium

💯 exactly same as I feel on their handlebar but I one you rude sold out...SPECIALIZED one piece needs the drops flare of 3-5 cm...any other available great 1 piece solution?😊

Enve had the new aero bars on display at EuroBike. They're coming...

New “pogi” handlebar will be available this summer soon

Tadej is the engine. Don't forget that😅🚴

Special versions of Tour bikes and parts has long been a thing and the UCI doesn't seem to care. For a long time Sarto and a speciality builder in Spain, built most of the peloton's bikes regardless of whose name was tubes. Enve making special bars is just a continuance of a long tradition.

The only gear the public cant buy is the stuff the doctors are giving him! He smashed the doped Pantani's record and barely broke a sweat. 😂

You forgot the BIke One ceramic BB.Never heard of them either.

Maybe they are testing what will be the new model?

Grant, ran into the same problem, Litespeed came out with a new model called the F1 Spezia, with Enve's aero integrated stem and Enve's SES AR Road handlebar, so i figure i'll order this system to convert my cockpit to internal/integrated, i went to their product page and i don't see it offered, so i called them and asked them why they don't offer it, they gave me a very generic answer like from a robot, i said to them why wouldn't you offer this don't you think people would want to buy this, and the CS person just didn't have an answer. Don't know what is going on with ENVE, bizzarro world for sure

I don't know wth is going on with Enve they said they would release right after the AR one piece but nothing yet about the Aero, but they do say they are releasing at some point. The one piece handlebar that's currently available is their one piece All Road bars, the one Tadej uses is the Aero one that hasn't been released yet.

If there’s plenty of people who can afford what the pros use that’s interesting. I wonder what the breakdown is as far as bike store margins are concerned for the top shelf equipment versus the “prosumer” and mid level buyer. Does the budget bike consumer even still exist? I for one approach bike stuff from a “bang for the buck” which is why I build my own bikes up with stuff I find anywhere from Aliexpress to Panda Podium to a high level bike store in Quebec or my local bike stores. I shop around because it’s all part of the hobby but if I was racing a lot or doing those fast group rides I imagine I’d be looking for the pro level gear. But I’d still probably not look for a $1200 handlebar.

This might be why the team bus got all their bikes stolen 😅

.. let's dive in ..

Enve put out an email today calling it the SES Pro Team One-piece Handlebar.

Looks like he has removed the rubber in front of the bleed port on the brake caliper

Can barely even get Carbon-TI chainrings as their production line is just almost exclusively running for UAE 😢

would be cool if they ditched the shimano cranks all together 😅

Something something fake LAB71 😂 Seems like another case of companies using smoke and mirrors trying to market a certain product vs. the crazy fragile stuff pros actually use.

It make me laugh when i hear that we can buy the same products that the pros have.I live in Italy and i often go to watch amateur road races.Not a week goes by that i don't see a broken frames when riders fall.Now: I also watch the Giro d'Italia or the Tour de France and crashes are the order of the day.Have you ever seen shattered frame? i have not,why? In my opinion the materials/frames of the Pros are not the same as what they sell to us amateurs!!

They even cut the number tag for aero gains...

It's like the Formule 1 ...

BOW-TEEK. hahahahahahahhahaahahah

9:18 This is Pornago V4S. . . bike porn!

He had a 3rd leg. In the giro.

I'm with you. I love this crazy beautiful tech 🤩😎

Love how GC finds the time to cover such silly topics but let me help him understand the difference between the handlebars. The one piece bar offered to the race teams is a sleeker, narrower, lighter piece designed around a race longer stem and reach. The one for the consumer is beefier , design to work with shorter stem length , accepts their TT extensions clamp and has to be more sturdier and stiff. Enve offers aero clamps for their TT extensions , that clamp on the aero profile top bar. Hope this makes sense and GC can reload now

It’s no different to what has happen over the years with continental pro ltd tubular tyres , Pirelli prototype tyres used by Lidl trek. The products will be released but a little later Besides there are so many other options , just get a Deda RS or Vision Evo . …or your highly rated EXS

He pedals like he has electric powered legs. But of course, it just looks that way.

Pedestrians do NOT get access to buying pro-specific equipment, ONLY replicas! A simple example, the pro frames top-tubes have extremely light upper-sides in contrast to the bottom-side!

It looks like a rebranded deda alanera …

Hii

They’re late and I don’t know if UCI is going to deal with it. It’s bullshit.

video could've been shorten to 3 min max...

wasnt mathew the goat rn?

Fake news LOL Acording to UCI rules etc, they eventually have to sell the products to consumers. Keyword is "eventually" plus there is no mention in the rules as to how many needs to be sold

Asked Colnago if I can get one of those Poga motors to install on my Trek. They said it's copyrighted to Poga.

Exposed!

Tadej is one of us because we all have $15k to build boutique bikes with exotic parts. GC used to be one of us but now he is just like Tadej , maybe should wear the yellow kit as well

You are so wrong. Pro stuff is often custom and not available to the public. Has been this way Sine the 80's.

SOMEDAY grant you will realize the rider wins races not equipment..im sure customers are knocking down your door wanting to pay $1200 for a bar ! You think pogs colnago is off the shelf? THE RIDER WINS RACES..quit pushing the bikes are the stars! If the SL 8 is so good why arent they world champion like canyon with van der poel? riders are test pilots for new products..where have you been the last 15 years????

US also guilty of this genocide !! 💕😚

We love you and we stand with you. We stand with Palestine. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸 💋🔥

Have you taken an even closer look at his handlebars since Saturday? 😇
