Pro, one of the Atherton's component sponsors, is not aiming to be as light as possible with the use of carbon. First and foremost, the processing of the plastic is intended to produce components that are as durable and functional as possible - which, logically, are nevertheless not unnecessarily heavy. For example, all the screws used are made of titanium. "Tharsis" includes a stem, handlebars, grips and a seat post.

The stem is made of carbon with gray prints. The front part of the handlebar clamp, as well as the cover at the top and the integrated spacer at the bottom are made of aluminum - a simple but high-quality look. The bolts for clamping the steerer tube are located on the side to prevent sensitive injuries. The seat post and the wide carbon handlebars also have the same simple look. In addition, a type of titanium mesh has been baked into the middle section of the handlebars. This mesh is intended to protect the handlebars from breaking as a result of too much clamping pressure. Finally, there are the black conical screw grips. They have a silver lock ring towards the center of the handlebars and are clamped internally on the outside with a screw.
