Signature Closed Back Arm Cups: Redefining Comfort and Support
The TriRig Signature Closed Back Arm Cups are a breakthrough in aero comfort. Built from our ultra-light, durable ThermoPlast™ material, these arm cups offer the perfect blend of strength, lightweight performance, and affordability, making them one of the most competitively priced upgrades for serious triathletes and time-trial cyclists.
The Closed Back Scoops not only function like standard arm cups, but they also provide additional support at the back, wrapping behind the elbow. This design is ideal for riders using high-hands or upward-tilt positions, keeping you locked into your aero position while allowing your upper body to relax. For optimal grip and comfort, each set of Closed Back Arm Cups comes with our signature textured neoprene pads pre-installed.
The Signature Closed Back Arm Cups offer one of the most significant comfort upgrades you can make to your triathlon or TT bike. When you’re comfortable, you stay in your aero position longer, which directly translates into faster times.
For enhanced cockpit flexibility, consider adding Wingspan Extenders to your cart. If you need hardware for Speed Concept compatibility, add it to your cart as well.
TriRig designs innovative, aerodynamic products built with elite athletes and proven through real-world performance. With a relentless focus on progress, problem-solving, and minimal design, every product helps athletes push limits and achieve their personal best.
- At 438 grams per set, these cups deliver minimal weight with maximum comfort.
- Ergonomic Support: Increases arm wrap and surface area for a more comfortable ride, ideal for extended use.
- Extended Adjustment Range: Features multiple mounting points and slotted bolt holes to accommodate various setups.
- Textured Neoprene Pads: Provides superior grip and cushioning for enhanced comfort and stability.
- ⚙️Compatibility: Scoops mount using two fore/aft bolts into matching threaded bosses on your arm-pad bracket/aerobar. Check that your bracket’s hole pattern aligns; both bolts must be used for a safe, stable install. Non-standard patterns may require Wingspan Extenders.
- Fits most aerobars on the market, including Alpha One/Alpha Prime.
- Comes with M5 and M6 bolts for easy installation.
- The Open Back SL Carbon Arm Cups are not recommended for use on the Trek Speed Concept Gen 3 (2022+) due to their narrower hole pattern. Other Scoops variants are compatible with the appropriate hardware kit.

Maximum Comfort, Minimal Materials
Scoops Arm Cups dramatically increase the reach, arm wrap, and surface area of the cup compared to anything on the market. At the same time, they also increase adjustment range with additional mounting points, slotted bolt holes, and superior textured neoprene pad material. These are perhaps the most universal cups ever made, allowing virtually any ride to get a major ergonomic upgrade. Of course, we think they work particularly well with Alpha One.
Game Changing Minimal Design
Scoops Arm Cups give you all the support and ergonometry you could ever dream up. The slimmed-down design packs a serious punch. Sacrificing no compatibility or functionality, this redesigned minimal-materials version proves to be the most efficient and effective line of Scoops we've ever designed.
Plug and Play
Scoops work with almost any bar on the market, and come with everything you need to fit them. A variety of M5 and M6 bolts are included for install. Just unbox, bolt on, and go!
