This is how TorHans tested all their equipment - it's a set of dummy arms that makes for very repeatable tests. Although if I'm nitpicking, I'll say that I don't think his hands are optimally positioned - I think it's usually best to wrap hands around the front of the shifters.

The TorHans company is bringing some thoughtful engineering into the world of aerobar-mounted hydration. I took an in-depth review at their Aero 20 product, which is both easy to use, and tests very well in the wind tunnel. See the article for a link to their wind tunnel data.


The TorHans Aero 20 is a simple, effective, and well-thought-out solution to triathlon hydration.

The Aero Mount Bracket cradles the bottle while riding - you just snap it in, and tighten it down with a strap across the front.

The Aero Mount bracket is easy to install - just one zip tie on each side, and it adjusts to fit the width of most aerobars.

Even on super skinny bikes with no spacers, the TorHans doesn't take up much space at all.

The Aero Tray behind the bottle makes a great place to put a computer, and the minimal refill cap is simple but quite effective.

Even the straw gets the aero treatment, and the mast helps keep it in place without resorting to a super sharp, rigid straw.
