See the comedy riding position?
Here's what yours are a copy of:
Here are normal bullhorns:
Notice the first set has a huge drop built in?
They're not for comfortable riding at your own pace. They're for contorting yourself into a bizarre shape in order to take 1/10th of a second off your time as you piss yourself from the strain of riding so hard.
What does TT mean? I've only heard it in reference to the Kill TT.
The ones you posted are slightly different, as those are like the Nitto RB021, mine are the RB019, which have a slight forward angle with the drop. The RB018 that you posted are similar to my RB002's. I actually dislike the RB019, and I think I am just going back to my RB002's.
Thanks for the info, I can see why the more aggressive style is used for sport.
EDIT: figured out TT is time trial? Interesting, because when I google time trial cycling and look at images, I haven't seen one that use bull horns that are shaped like the Nitto RB019, it seems like a totally
different style.
