About Vision ACR System:
This innovative patent-pending system is unique to FSA/Vision and is a combination of our knowledge bases in both headset and cockpit development and manufacturing plus our history in aerodynamic development and design. The result is a clean, integrated and aerodynamic cable routing solution for frame and bicycle brands.

Here the main Vision parts featuring ACR System:

Metron 5D ACR integrated handlebar is the stiffest and most aero integrated handlebar and stem system. Mixing aerodynamics and ergonomics, the unique shape includes our Aero-Ergo central section. With a slight rise from the stem clamp and a 10 degree forward bend, the 5D accommodates the natural position of your arms for more comfort and easier breathing, while the wing-like shape of the bar top aids aerodynamics. Reinforced carbon fiber construction gives a great strength-to-weight ratio.

Metron ACR is a carbon fiber stem developed with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology to creates the ultimate low drag profile. The UD carbon fiber not only reduces the weight, it's incredibly strong and stiff to ensure you’re most intense sprinting and climbing efforts are optimized. A glossy UD carbon finish ensures this stem will enhance the look of even the most modern aero road bikes.
