Vision is a brand used by FSA for a range of high-end time-trial and triathlon products. I have included it as a separate brand because FSA are very careful to make sure that no FSA branding appears on the product.

The history of the brand may go something like this:

In 1995 VisionTech USA was founded by Peter Fraiman in Washington State, USA. The company made aero bars for triathletes and time triallists.
In 2003 FSA, which is owned by Tien Hsin Industries of Taiwan, acquired VisionTech and continued with the VisionTech products.
Gradually the VisionTech brand morphed into the Vision brand, and the VisionTech handlebar line expanded to become an extensive range of triathlon and time trial components, including a full groupset.

For derailleur enthusiasts, the key Vision groupset is called Metron and includes a slightly bizarre 'aerodynamic' Vision Metron rear derailleur. This started life, possibly in 2013, as a colourfully styled 10 speed. In 2014, or possibly 2015, it became an 11 speed, and, possibly in 2017, it was restyled in a more stealthy looking black livery.
