Comfort Like Never Before

Developed using Retül and Body Geometry data, the new Alpinist Cockpit II was shaped to fit the palm more naturally—helping deliver more comfort, more control, and less fatigue. Compared to the rounder, less forgiving shape of it’s predecessor, the new design increases surface area, helping distribute pressure more evenly, especially across the tops. The result is the most comfortable cockpit we’ve ever made—lightweight, responsive, and ergonomically dialed for all-day performance. And with clean integration on Specialized bikes and universal compatibility elsewhere, it brings pro-level comfort to any road setup.

No Compromises

At 270 grams (400x100), the Alpinist Cockpit II weighs 40g less than the Rapide Cockpit and 10g less than the Alpinist bar and stem combination. Built with the same carbon layup precision and engineering detail that define bikes like the Aethos and Tarmac, it’s a no-compromise cockpit designed for riders who count every gram and demand every advantage.

Unmatched Ride Quality

The Alpinist Cockpit II delivers a refined balance of stiffness and compliance for an unmatched ride feel. Engineered to stay rock-solid during all-out sprints and hard pulls, it still offers vertical compliance when you're in the drops and hit a bump, absorbing shock exactly when and where you need it. The result? A cockpit that feels responsive under power, yet smooth on rough roads.
