Combined with our wedge solution and 51 Speedshop cups, USE extensions complete the front-end ergonomic package, allowing athletes to achieve a sustainable high-hands position.  

Our 15-degree wedge solution is designed to facilitate the high-hands time trial position, providing comfort and stability when 100 mm of height gain is fully utilised. When wedging, few extension options allow for this height gain and thus, the USE reversible ski-bend extensions are a go-to product for achieving this positional characteristic. 

Looking for 100 mm of height gain, over a short distance? 40-degree ski-bend extensions will be the most appropriate option. Wanting a more neutral hand position? Favour 40-degree over 30. Looking for 100 mm of height gain over a longer distance? 30-degree ski-bend extensions will be the go-to option. Wanting a low grip angle? Favour 30-degree over 40.
