Gd day,
Currently using a alloy bullhorn bar, thinking of changing it to a Easton DeltaForce pursuit or a Vision Tech. Which would be better in terms of aero and comfort for long distant?
Cheers.

Vision tech make a nice bar, but best advice is to go ride em if ya can at a lbs and see what feels better in your hands

Cheers.The Vision Tech is alloy as well unless they have a new model.
Both of these bars are very aerodynamic - any aerodynamic difference between the two would probably only amount to fractions of a second over a 40k course. For comfort, I can't compare having never ridden the Easton bar. However, the Vision Tech is pretty comfortable. The Vision Tech is probably half the cost of the Easton.
comfort in a bullhorn??? bahhh, you should always be in your aeros....
aerodynamics is a toss up between the two.
I'd go Vision tech unless I really just had money sitting around in which case I'd go with a one piece bar.
